MESSAGES AND THEIR MEANING:
LOW RISK:
Subject’s voice indicated no special emotional deviation from the baseline and is therefore not suspected (low risk).
EXCITEMENT / HIGH EXCITEMENT / EXTREME EMOTION:
Indicate high levels of emotional stress. When you get this system message, you should consider if the question or discussion warranted this type of emotional reaction. If not, you should consider pursuing the discussion further on the issue discussed, perhaps raising peripheral issues to try to discover the cause of the emotional stress or excitement.
SUBJECT IS NOT SURE:
Indicates some cognitive stress, most of the time due to the subject’s lack of information / knowledge. If you feel that the subject genuinely could be unsure or unaware of some facts, then you should continue with the discussion normally. Otherwise, investigate some more about this issue to see if you can clarify it further. Remember that this message means that elevated cognitive stress was detected. Cognitive stress is an important part in the veracity assessment process.
VOICE MANIPULATION / AVOIDING:
Indicates the subject is intentionally trying to manipulate or force the way he sounds. Usually this indicates that the subject is either emphasizing some details or trying to sound convincing. It may also indicate high cognitive stress and an attempt at avoiding a direct answer.
HIGH STRESS:
Elevated stress (from the baseline) indicates expectations of bad outcome or recollection of a negative memory or experience. It does not mean the subject is dishonest, unless high stress is not expected in the answer and cannot be explained. If a subject responds with high stress when you don’t expect it, this could indicate that you touched a “sensitive point” for your subject, and you should definitely continue to question further in an attempt to reveal the cause of stress. When this message appears on what should be a stress-free related issue it may also indicate deception.
STRESS RELIEF:
The subject is either being cynical or did not pay attention to the last sentence he said. If this message appears often in a conversation, it can indicate that the subject is being condescending. Try to recalibrate so the system will take the condescending attitude as the base line.
INACCURACY:
Risk indication in medium levels was detected and typically indicates an inaccurate statement. Some statements by nature cannot be accurate, such as “I was there at 8 o’clock”, “I’ll be there in 5 minutes”, or even “I jumped to the sealing with excitement...” – and then may in fact indicate the high moral attitude of the tested party. If, however, you feel the details are relevant, you should investigate further.
HIGH RISK:
The system detected an extreme mixture of emotions, and suspects the veracity of the last statement. Keep in mind the related topic and try
to question more about it. If a reasonable explanation is not provided by the subject, it should be treated as a problematic issue and further investigated by other means. Please note the additional important issues relating to this message.
This message might also appear if the system analyzed by mistake background noises (the noise characteristics may be very different than the human voice). It is advised to approach the high risk topic again at a later phase, and make sure the “risk” indications repeat themselves.
If the system keeps on generating the High Risk indication, it should be assumed that the subject was deceitful about that topic. If it appears only briefly and does not repeat itself, then this message may also appear as an indication of the subject’s “self control” mechanism. If this is not an important topic, you can ignore such occurrences.
HIGH RISK & DEEP MESSAGE:
Same indications as in “High Risk”, in addition the subject is thinking of yet hiding certain detail/s that are critical to the investigation.
HIGH RISK & EXTREME CONFLICT:
Same indications as in “High Risk”, in addition the subject is providing certain detail/s, while knowing that they contradict with what really happened. Details that are critical to the investigation.
HIGH S.O.S:
Indicates the system detected a “Say Or Stop” situation, in which the subject is knowingly not revealing all information relevant to the question being asked, or is regretting providing this bit of information. If this message appears in a relevant topic, it should be further investigated. Make a note of any high SOS segments!
