The polygraph is commonly referred to as a lie detector, but it does not recognize lies. A specific physiological lie response has never been demonstrated and is unlikely to exist. The responses it measures are not unique to deception nor are they always provoked by it.
How do our government agencies intend to resolve the continually growing need for strict security clearances required for the 21st century with their out dated methodologies, their inertia and inability to look for answers.
For hundreds of thousands of years the human race was developing in an environment where only brute forth provided means for survival or achievement. In the last century alone human life has dramatically changed with information and knowledge becoming the major instruments of human survival and success.
Stay posted to see if the pitch segment for Northam Psychotechnologies with Dr. Ioffe gets airs and get real insight into Semantic Stimuli Response Measurement technology's concept, mechanics, see a live test demo, and hear about our recent accomplishments!
Our nations governments are doing what they can to prevent terrorist attacks, attacks from within, digital theft and sabotage with what they know and what works. But they are still trying to solve new problems with old solutions.
Every individual SSRM test is a complete scientific experiment consisting of a Control, a Probe / Stimuli, a Reper (Reference Point), a Registered Response. The test is based on universal human behaviour, that humans will unconsciously react to words, pictures or sounds associated with their emotions.
A conscious based test would be any test where one is asked a question to identify, choose or grade verbally, on paper or a computer screen. A subconscious based test is one where only one’s subconscious is queried for response and as such one cannot control or affect the answers provided.
The Department of Defense could be taking advantage of the potential benefits of SSRM Tek to decrease military suicides and aid in treatment of rising mental health issues like PTSD and depression.
During the last 5-6 years a number of articles concerning fMRI have appeared in the press explaining to us that very soon scientists will be able to catch a terrorist, killer or liar, stick him in fMRI chamber and start reading his thoughts. Time for a DEBUNK.
It is very interesting to mention that a political columnist for the New York Times David Brooks and David Carmel, a research scientist at the Carrasco Lab, New York University’s Department of Psychology and Center for Neural Science, are dabbling in the area of the subconscious mind.
Join in and read a letter written to The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, the Canadian Minister of Health, starting a dialogue about our nations system of psychological health care. Requesting they become the champions of the 21st century approach to psychological health and wellness in Canada.
Screening is an absolute must however it starts with the people who do the screening. SSRM technology can screen the tens of thousands of TSA and airport employees and subcontractors quickly and efficiently making sure that the people whose job it is to protect our wellbeing are properly doing so.
A look at the psychological and physical health industries uncovers the need for measurable quantitative testing in order to bring the psychological health field into the 21st century. We look at 3 patient case studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach to familiarize psychological health practitioners and their patients with these technologies.
Establishment of Psychological Testing and Teaching Centers (PTTC) is the best answer to managing the mental health and wellness of the general public. As a society, we must invest more in front-end psychological health services aimed at reducing the demand for psychological illness care services at the back end.
What kind of psychological testing is in place currently to evaluate new recruits to the Canadian Forces and what if any tests are carried out in annual review of all members of the military? Are there ways to test for these kinds of things and if so why are they not being implemented on a constant basis?
How many possible Al-Qaeda operatives would take the risk of applying for a job if they were required to take the Subconscious Semantic Response Measurement test uncovering their intentions and tendencies? Would they take the risk of being discovered and investigated or would they simply avoid applying?
Though modern society puts physical beauty and strength on a pedestal, today’s human is an informational being and therefore should be treated as such. Meaning the human psyche can be tested and treated with words as physical illnesses can be tested and treated with chemicals.
Northam Psychotechnologies is an advocate of science AS WELL AS scientific application. We do not doubt the science being used here, we doubt the pure speculatory claims made about the real life application of their science. What they are measuring is real in hands of laboratory scientist however it has no practical, real world application.
SSRM Tek is a technology that we at NPT have developed that screens the response of the subconscious mind to virtually any stimuli. We have incorporated that base technology into a software called PASSTool which we have been operationally testing in Afghanistan over the last 2 years.
At NPT we have developed an assessment tool that paints a picture of your personal semantic space, the color of your emotions, and their distance and relation to one another. The analysis of the data we collect can be used as an emotional baseline to determine the effectiveness of mental health treatments and evaluating general levels of mental health.
People can only make conscious decisions. But you have 2 parts to your mind, your conscious and your subconscious. We can control one but not the other and the major content of our informational being is not accessible to our conscious mind. It belongs to the subconscious mind.
There are MANY questions about the mind that we are unable to answer. There are many questions you are unable to answer even about yourself as you do not have access to every memory or experience that happened to you in your life. That information is in your mind however you consciously have no way to access it. Why is this?
The current psychological field has no tools in which to properly diagnose patients in the same manner medical science does. Northam Psychotechnolgies is here to present tests; real time, cost effective, simple to administer, fast tests that will properly diagnose patients with psychological problems the first time.
The polygraph is commonly referred to as a lie detector, but it does not recognize lies. A specific physiological lie response has never been demonstrated and is unlikely to exist (NRC, 2003). The responses it measures are not unique to deception nor are they always provoked by it. The aim of the polygraph examiner is to establish a psychological set in the examinee that will increase the likelihood that any observed arousal to specific questions is the result of deceptive responses (Kleiner, 2002; Grubin, 2010; Senter et al, 2010).
Since the 9/11 tragedy of 2001, where the perpetrators came from outside our borders, we have seen a tremendous resurgence of high-tech security products directed to protect our borders and other important infrastructures.

For hundreds of thousands of years the human race was developing in an environment where only brute forth provided means for survival or achievement. In the last century alone, man has secured the means of acquiring knowledge, an information delivery system, becoming part of our everyday lives, however human life has dramatically changed as a result now with information and knowledge becoming the major instruments of human survival and success.
Northam Psychotechnologies has been invited to present on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s, CBC‘s number #1 rated reality TV show, the Dragons’ Den for their upcoming 6th season starting September 2011! We’ve excited and humbled by their invitation and have put together what we believe to be an amazing pitch and story to publicize the benefits of Semantic Stimuli Response Measurement Technology.

International news is filled everyday with topics like internal government crackdowns due to Wikileaks, and the new terrorist threat from within our own soil. Traditional methods of tackling these issues require a tremendous amount of time, extensive finances and thousands of hours of manpower. The traditional definition of an enemy was an opposing nation or force, a hostile nation or people however these definitions no longer ring as true as they once did.
