This document provides an overview of lie detectors, how they work, and their accuracy. It discusses that lie detectors monitor physiological reactions like heart rate, breathing, and sweat to determine if a person is lying. However, they are only about 85-90% accurate as results can depend on the person's character, openness, and the examiner. While sometimes used by law enforcement, polygraph results are rarely admissible in court due to their imperfect nature.
