Hollywoods depiction of polygraph testing leads me to believe that they are largely based on fluctuations in heart rate and respiratory rate. Is this right? If so, I think that if I were in a situation that required I take a lie detector test, I imagine my heart would be all over the map, as would my breathing. This has always been a secret fear of mine, to be falsely accused of something heinous and not be able to repudiate it because I failed some lie detector test.
