This message thread is being started in direct response to George Maschke?s assertion that, "CQT polygraphy has not been shown by peer-reviewed scientific research to differentiate between truth and deception at better than chance levels of accuracy under field conditions. Moreover, since CQT polygraph lacks both standardization and control, it can have no validity."  

The discussion will encompass but not be limited to;

1. All studies that are published and peer reviewed in a professional journal or publication.

2. Comparisons of polygraph to other scientific accepted fields of studies and their practices.
