AN INDEPTH LOOK AT TRUSTER SOFTWARE
- 1.
Introduction
The Truster technology is the first of it's kind. The technology
allows us to analyze the
- human
voice through a telephone, television, audio tape or microphone.
We can do all
- these
in real time and without the other person being aware of the test.
-
- The
technology is based on the self judgement people have and the
guilt knowledge they
- are
developing when they lie. The Truster is measuring cognitive messages
that are
- transferred
through the voice. Those messages are the result of our own self-criticism
- and
we can not control them.
-
- When
we measure and calculate the results we can also identify hesitation,
exaggeration,
- cynicism,
or avoiding. We can also scan extreme excitement, which most of
the times is
- a
sign of a traumatic event. We can also tell the amount of stress
that the person is having
- during
the conversation.

The Truster System/Psychological Structure
-
- The
Psychological Structure of a Lie During Free Conversation, and
the System
- Messages
- It is important to understand the psychological structure of
stress and lies
- during
a conversation. In contrast with other test situations (such as
a police
- investigation),
a test during a free conversation has a guiding psychological
structure that
- is
true for most cases.
-
- In
a free conversation, without a predefined purpose, the subject
is unable to tell in
- advance
where the conversation is leading. In addition, the subject will
tell the truth most
- of
the time - and will lie only a few times, if he or she lies at
all.
-
- Within
this psychological structure, the need to lie will rise as a surprise
and will usually
- be
expressed in a sharp, remarkable and immediate manner. By the
same token, the
- stress
will also disappear very quickly. In these cases, the system will
recognize the lie or
- the
exaggeration, and it will respond with the diagnosis "False
statement" for a lie, or
- "Inaccuracy"
for an exaggeration. Similarly, the diagnosis "Subject is
not sure" indicates
- that
the system recognized uncertainty or confusion in the speaker's
voice; the diagnosis
- "Avoidance
\ voice manipulation" indicates that the subject is consciously
manipulating
- his
or her voice (whether he or she is trying to sound credible, or
attempting to avoid a
- stressful
question); the diagnosis "Excitement" and the diagnosis
"High excitement"
- indicate
that the subject's excitement level is above his or her excitement
during the
- calibration
process, that is, the subject is now more excited as he or she
speaks than at
- the
beginning of the conversation; the diagnosis "Extreme excitement"
indicates that the
- subject
had a high emotional stress while speaking. (this does not mean
that the subject
- was
lying.) ; the diagnosis "Outsmart" indicates that the
subject is not at ease with the
- things
he or she is saying, that is, the subject is being cynical. Alternatively,
the message
- can
indicate an attempt to conceal a lie by using cynicism and avoid
giving a straight
- answer.
The diagnosis can also appear when the subject is treating the
conversation with
- condescension.
-
- Most
of the time, the diagnosis will be "Truth", indicating
that the subject is not under
- any
kind of stress. Another diagnosis produced by the system is a
red frame that is
- turned
on in the "Sound wave" window when the subject is under
high general stress -
- that
is, nervousness, expectancy or any similar type of stress.

Polygraph vs. the Truster
-
- What
is a Polygraph? - A polygraph is a system, which can detect a
person's state of
- excitement,
stress or emotional conflict according to pre-defined criteria.
The polygraph
- performs
several consecutive physical tests by connecting the subject to
multiple sensors
- simultaneously.
The tests include the subject's blood pressure, sweating, breathing
rate,
- pulse
etc.
-
- The
subject's consent is necessary for performing the test, and it
is highly important to
- conduct
the test in an agreeable, interruption-free setting. An inappropriate
setting may
- influence
the lie detector test and produce a deviation in its results.
-
- The
test's degree of credibility is significantly influenced by the
operator's level of skill
- and
professional expertise.
-
- The
Speech Mechanism - When a person speaks, air is pushed from the
lungs upward to
- the
vocal cords. As a result, the vocal cords vibrate in a specific
frequency, called the
- speaker's
main leading frequency. The air keeps flowing upward to the mouth
and goes
- through
the tongue, teeth and lips, thereby creating the speech flow.
-
- When
a person lies, the amount of blood in the vocal cords drops as
a result of the stress.
- An
involuntary interference of the nerves causes the vocal cords
to produce a distorted
- sound
wave.
-
- The
distortion is manifested by the production of a frequency level
which is different
- from
the one produced by the same person when telling the truth. In
addition, a subject's
- voice
can reveal many factors which are not detected in the traditional
lie detector
- diagnosis,
such as confusion, excitement, embarrassment, physical pain, and
more.
