Objective - Multi-parameters are employed to design a device of lie detector, including Skin Temperature,
electrocardiogram (ECG), Pressure of End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (PETCO2), Oxygen Saturation and other
physiological parameters. Methods: Skin Temperature is measured by temperature sensor, and it is used to
monitor the difference during the lie detection procedure. Standard CM5 ECG lead, used to extract the signal
of heart rate, re-extracted heart rate variability and other autonomic nervous system characterized by the
parameters. Oxygen Saturation and PETCO2 detection were tested late changes of respiration and respiratory
status. 300Hz sampling rate was used to capture the channel signal. Through the low-power microcontroller
MSP430, the signal was sent into computer via USB communication. Result: After debugging and verifying,
reliable physical parameters can be collected from multi-parameter detection system. It provided a set of
physiological information monitoring for the hardware system. Discussion: Signal analysis software needed
further design, at the same time adjust the acquisition parameters of front-end signal, and a reasonable
configuration, all of them are lay the foundation of software system design. The result shows that the lie
detector system based on physiological parameters is cheaper and more convenient than others.

Detecting lies is crucial in many areas, such as airport security, police investigations, counter-terrorism, etc.
One technique to detect lies is through the identification of facial micro-expressions, which are brief,
involuntary expressions shown on the face of humans when they are trying to conceal or repress emotions.
Manual measurement of micro-expressions is hard labor, time consuming, and inaccurate. This paper presents
the Design and Development of a Lie Detection System using Facial Micro-Expressions. It is an automated
vision system designed and implemented using LabVIEW. An Embedded Vision System (EVS) is used to capture
the subject's interview. Then, a LabVIEW program converts the video into series of frames and processes the
frames, each at a time, in four consecutive stages. The first two stages deal with color conversion and filtering.
The third stage applies geometric-based dynamic templates on each frame to specify key features of the facial
structure. The fourth stage extracts the needed measurements in order to detect facial micro-expressions to

determine whether the subject is lying or not. Testing results show that this system can be used for
interpreting eight facial expressions: happiness, sadness, joy, anger, fear, surprise, disgust, and contempt, and
detecting facial micro-expressions. It extracts accurate output that can be employed in other fields of studies
such as psychological assessment. The results indicate high precision that allows future development of
applications that respond to spontaneous facial expressions in real time.

A large number of stimuli were often used for identify the guilty subjects in lie detection. In this paper, we proposed a
novel lie detection approach to enhance the identification accuracy of the subjects. The independent component
analysis (ICA) was used to separate the EEG signals, and a reconstruction algorithm was presented to recognize the P300
components automatically, and then reconstruct the P300 in the Pz electrode. We extracted two groups of features
based on time-, frequency-domains from the reconstructed Pz signals. SVM was employed to classify the two kinds of
feature vectors. The balance test accuracy of 82.45% suggests that the presented method could effectively detect the
deceptive and truthful responses. In addition, the related result shows that identifying the subjects in lie detection could
be implemented based on small-number P300 responses using the proposed method.
