Today's polygraph is an instrument that records three major physiological changes:
- cardio response, measured in terms of blood pressure variations, heartbeat and pulse wave
- skin resistance, which is affected by the amount of perspiration;
- respiratory activity
Together these variables provide continual data regarding an individual's sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system which are part of the autonomic division of the peripheral nervous system which controls physiological actions and reactions. All of these reactions are recorded and then analyzed by the polygraphist.
