Thanks for posting this. Could you provide any further information about the information that was presented at the conference?

The Department of Defense's polygraph program report to Congress for fiscal year 2001 mentions the following research program involving laser doppler vibrometry:


Quote:

Remote Sensing of Emotion and Stress Using Laser Doppler Vibrometer. This project involves the use of emerging technologies to develop methods for deriving simultaneous information from the laser Doppler signal regarding multiple physiological functions including body tremor, respiration, cardiac function, muscle contraction, and sweating. Laser Doppler Vibrometry recording methods do not require the attachment of physical transducers, and could be adapted to multiple-examination settings. Preliminary data has been collected and preliminary findings have been presented to the Federal and scientific community. Further reports are pending.

It was a single line item at the DHS / NDIA conference last week in San Diego on Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.  No other information other than the contact person was given.
