There is however not usually a strong enough pulse in the index finger for it to be detectable by human senses (this is why we use the index finger and not the thumb for taking a pulse). There are obvioulsy machines that can sense it and these are used in some forms of polygraph and I believe by psychologists testing levels of stress.
