How does a lie detector work?

A lie detector is a device that measures the frequency of his pulse, respiration, blood pressure and electrical resistance of the skin (sweating intensity) during the interrogation of a person.

When a person lies, the first three indicators go up and the last one goes down. The fact is that any fairly normal person, when lying, is afraid that the truth will come out. This fear is always accompanied by the release of adrenaline, which changes the above physiological characteristics of the emotional state of a person.

A lie detector (another name for this device is a polygraph) was created in 1921 by American psychologists and police officers Augustus Larsen and Leonard Keeler.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Kingston KC310 960 GB SSDs 17.04.2015

Kingston Digital has announced the availability of its largest enterprise SSD, the 310GB KC960.

This 2,5-inch drive uses the Phison PS3110-S10 eight-channel controller to provide high-speed SATA 6Gb/s data transfer. In sequential read mode, it reaches 550 MB / s, in sequential write mode - 520 MB / s. Performance on random access operations in blocks of 4 KB reaches 96000 IOPS in read mode and 88000 IOPS in write mode.

The drive features an Advanced SmartECC data protection mechanism that automatically recovers information, and a mechanism that minimizes the risk of data loss in the event of a sudden power outage. The drive supports SMART technology and the TRIM function.

The manufacturer provides a three-year warranty on the drive, estimating the mean time between failures at 1 million hours. The SSD resource is declared equal to the ability to write 681 TB of information during its entire service life.
