- A polygraph instrument collects physiological data from at least three systems or channels of the human body;
- Firstly, pneumograph tubes are placed over the examinee’s chest and abdominal area to record breathing patterns;
- Secondly finger the plates are attached to the fingers to record sweat gland activity;
- Thirdly, a blood pressure cuff will record cardiovascular activity;
- The reactions are charted by the polygraph instrument and reflected on charts printed from the recordings;
