An approved lie detector is an “…instrument that records continuously, visually, permanently, and simultaneously changes in cardiovascular, respiratory and electrodermal patterns as minimum instrumentation standards and is used to render a diagnostic opinion as to the honesty or dishonesty of an individual.”

Quotes from Experts

“Polygraph examiners recognize that what makes today’s polygraph better than it was in years past is the addition of more and better data channels, advanced testing protocols, improved sensors, and inclusion of automation for more reliable testing and valid data analysis. In that vein, EyeDetect+ 2.0 represents the next step in polygraph’s evolution.”

– Don KrapohlConverus Advisory Board, former assistant director of NCCA, and former U.S. federal government polygraph examiner.


“EyeDetect+ increases the reliability and objectivity of the testing process by automating and standardizing it, removing as many subjective elements as possible, which provides a greater outcome confidence in the test result.”

– Mark HandlerAmerican Polygraph Association (APA) board member, independent polygraph instructor and consultant, Converus Director of Professional Services.

Quotes from Experts


“I was pleasantly surprised by the improvements made in the development of EyeDetect+. This new version represents an interesting convergence of two leading technologies. Knowing that Dr. John Kircher and Dr. David Raskin have been involved in the evolution of EyeDetect gives me confidence in the direction of the progress made by combining these two solutions.”

– Luz del Carmen Diaz GalindoFormer Director of the Center of Control of Confidence of Mexican National Central of Intelligence
