the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment and the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment have said that polygraphs give a false report as often 70 to 90 percent of the time. A professor of psychology and neurobiology is developing a lie detector that measures brain waves, rather than bodily functions, as do the polygraphs now in use. He claims that it will pick up as 50 percent of those lying, and will falsely accuse no one. The American Medical Association and the congressional Office of Technology Assessment have said polygraphs are wrong 15 percent to 50 percent of the time. The developer also said that the new detector will be on the market in last year , and it will cost 10 times as much as the polygraph machines now in use.
