“…After four years of employment, obligatory 20-day advanced and ten-day specialised technical courses are offered by the NRIPS to improve the polygraph skills of examiners. A six-month research course (studying at a domestic university laboratory) and a three-month international research and training course also enhance the skills and knowledge of polygraph researchers (Seta, 1996).…”

teaches introductory psychology, psychophysiology and experimental psychology Although his primary research concern is biofeedback in psychophysiology, he is currently studying the guilty knowledge test in a laboratory setting. ABSTRACT There are two main types of psychophysiological detection of deception in field practice: the guilty knowledge test (GKT) and the control question test (CQT). A sUYlley carried out for members of the American Psychological Association and the Society [or PsychophysiologicalResearch proved that mallY of the members consider that the GKT is superior to the CQT in its validity. Moreover, several experimental studies reported that the GKT produces fewer false positive errors (classifying an innocent suspect as guilty) than the CQT. In spite of these issues, the GKT is used less in North America and there are several researchers who insist that it is inapplicable in real-life criminal investigations. 111 Japan, however, the GKT has been extensively and successfully used in criminal investioations since the 1950s. Moreover, basic studies of the GKT, such as visual presentations of evidence, an automated diagnostic method by a computer and detecting guilty knowledge by using event-related brain potentials, are actively carried out in many Japanese laboratories to improve the method 5 reliability. In an effort to encourage the application of the GKT as an effective and scientific method in criminal investigations, this paper describes the status of the GKT in Japan.

The Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the thermal behavior of hair samples and to verify the possibility of identifying an individual based on DSC curves from a data bank. Hair samples of students and officials from Instituto de Química de Araraquara, UNESP were obtained to build up a data bank. Thus to sought an individual, under incognito participant of this data bank, was identified using DSC curves.
