Yes, there are a few methods which have been used to cheat on polygraph tests. The most common method is the 'Tack in the Shoe', where the person being polygraphed places a tack in their shoe, and whenever asked a question, they could step their heel on the tack and then answer the question falsely, as the lie is masked by the pain of the tack inside the person's heel.
