That is to say, with the results obtained by polygraphs, it is not possible to make a conviction, even if the result is conclusive.<\/p>\n<p>This applies not only in the criminal field, but in any other legal field. The results it yields <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"the polygraph\" href=\"https:\/\/elpoligrafo.es\/en\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">the polygraph<\/a> fall within what is known as expert evidence.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, although the result may be damning, as long as it is not supported by hard evidence, it is irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p>According to some researchers, neurologists, psychiatrists and other specialists claim that there is not much basis for accepting this as evidence.

speaking, the results that <a href=\"https:\/\/elpoligrafo.es\/en\/can-a-polygrapher-detect-lies-by-omission\/\">can be obtained by means of a polygraph<\/a> can be quite reliable. This is because the body's physiological variations do not lie, which means that you can get very good results.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the result of a polygraph test does not depend solely on the device, as other things are involved. For example, the software that records the results and the person who interprets the results.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, these results can be very variable, but generally speaking, the results you can get are quite good and accurate.<\/p>\n<p>In this sense, we have that, for any investigation, the result that they are going to obtain is going to be important.
