I prefer the walking on hot coals test. ¸ If you can anticipate that all is known or suspected you can create a flat polygraph in much the same way that you can control your alpha waves. All you do is generate artifact when the questions are innocuous (blinking and thinking about things like bothersome persons and bills and such.) Then relax your mind as much as possible and hypnotize yourself to not react as the questions are asked. In time your polygraph will be so confusing that it will be meaningless. Individuals who do not seem relaxed actually have better control over their CNS states than relaxed individuals. These people are very hard to penetrate. The CIA trains people to beat polygraphs and they routinely beat the machine in very stressful situations. The key to good testing is the tester, who must keep the subject off guard with innocuous, ambush and special knowledge questions, and indicate, where he may suspect something, that he actually is revealing the truth, to the subject. "Rattling" is the key. Thence, the CNS becomes unraveled. © EC<:-}
