| Re: Cue the higher divorce rate... Right, it's like the conventional polygraphs: the proposition that they detect falsehoods is based on the assumption that what they do detect corresponds to falsehood.
Conventional polygraphs report on heart and respiration rates, skin conductivity, etc.. Certain changes in these may or may not correspond to lying. The voice stress analyzers detect something that may or may not correspond to lying. I'm not convinced it has even been tested realistically - obviously you can test it with requested lies in artificial situations, but to test it in real conditions you would have to send out detectives to independently find out whether statements were or were not true.
It may be useful, but there should be some disclaimers about the very questionable reliability. | |

| Re: Anxiety = Lying? said by GOLFnSUN  :Without a baseline of how someone responds to emotion laden questions and not knowing if they are also telling the truth or lying about those baseline questions If one puts a tack in one's shoe and presses down on it during the baseline questions one can pass the test. | |

| audio technology is amazing. Lansing 604E speakers, sound similar to modern Thiels, and other high quality speaker brands. They were designed in 1939 and remade thousands of times.
But phones have been around for 100 years and still sound like something made in 1890.. completely awful sound quality. No frequency range, tons of distortion.
How the hell are you going to detect stress in the human voice, when the average guy can't even tell his girlfriend from his girlfriend's mother over such a low quality connection?

My phones are wired and I can tell who I am talking to. Maybe it is the VoIP and cell crap you are referring to. I was waiting for the first DSLRish "I can look smart by taking that part of your post literally when you obviously never meant it to be literally" response. Good job.
a) No, I wasn't around in 1980. How did you know?!
I can infer that it sounded bad because of the technology around then, and because logically, 100 years later, the technology would not have sounded worse. It would have sounded better, or stagnated.
b) Yes, phone quality does suck. Maybe you can make out who you're talking to. I do too most of the time, but every now and then someone messes up and thinks they're talking to their girlfriend instead of her mom, or a different brother. Or you have to say 'what' where you would understand the conversation perfectly in real life.
Phones have an awful range.. they don't go much past 4 KHz, they have tons of distortion. I didn't mean in the line - even in a 100% perfect transfer, the audio itself is of very low quality because the standard is low quality, because the standard was made back when just any sort of audio recording/reproduction was considered an amazing leap of technology. The fact that you have to say "b as in boy" if you're in tech support telling someone an RMA number or a command to type in is proof of this.
We have come far with microphones and headphones over the years, but phones sound the same. I know the speaker and mic are cheap, but they can do better. They don't need to sound like crap, it's 2006. In 1938 they had the equipment available to make things sound better, so certainly it's there now.

If you did get that I said that, and your point was to say, I said "don't go much past" vs "don't go past".. that's worse than being an online spell checker.  | |
