Schrand JR
Letter: Deception to determine the truth?
Enid News - August 4, 2015

...
Polygraph exams are used as a license for positions of responsibility and trust. The recent studies on insular stroke find that survivors tend to confabulate. Their feelings are often distorted, resulting in prejudiced, over-controlling, manipulative, antisocial behavior. And because they do not feel stress, these sociopaths would pass the polygraph. So, is our society too heavily influenced by "trusted insiders" with stroke? The science community needs to weigh in on this.

in response to articles on the polygraph.
