In recent years a polygraph machine has been used to detect lies. It was used by FBI, CIA, local police and many other government agencies and some organizations mainly government to periodically check their employees for honesty as well as prospective criminals. The polygraph machine relied on pulse rate, blood pressure, sweat rate etc.

But now with the improvement of technology and five years of hard work by the team at the University of Utah, they have successfully made an Eye movement based lie detector. It is based on CAT (Credibility Assessment Technologies).

According to workers on the project, the eye tracking method has a great potential for detecting lies. Moreover they added that when future tests will be successfully conducted eye movement based lie detector test will dominate Polygraph testing.

The technology was only recently developed therefore software development and further tests are necessary and are currently being developed to determine accuracy and to improve the technology. The technology here is different from polygraphs as are now understood, all technology is based on movement of the eye, how long it takes a test to read something, response time, rereading and error all are still under review.

According to the team that develops the technology, an eye movement based lie detector test is much cheaper than polygraph testing. Its results are more reliable as compared to polygraph testing and it gives more timely results as compared to polygraph testing.

The team members announced that their technology will soon be used on commercial bases. Let’s see how successful it proves to be!

Orders to U.S. factories rebounded in September, helped by strength in autos, heavy machinery and military aircraft.

The fifth increase in six months bolstered hopes that a revival in manufacturing will help support an overall economic recovery. The worry is that if consumer spending falters in coming months, orders will slump again.

The Commerce Department said Tuesday that orders rose 0.9 percent in September, slightly better than the 0.8 percent gain economists had expected. Demand increased for both durable goods, and nondurable goods such as chemicals and energy products.

New orders for durable goods, items expected to last at least three years, advanced 1.4 percent, better than the 1 percent estimate the government made last week.
