In most states, no. However, in some states they are allowed under certain circumstances. It's typically not within the trial judge's discretion when to and not to admit this evidence. Most states' appellate/supreme courts have set out rules in case law for when polygraph is admissible. For example, in several states, a polygraph is admissible in a criminal case when it is first introduced by the defendant, but the state may not be the first to introduce it. However, if the defendant introduces a polygraph test, the state may rebut that evidence with a conflicting exam.

Yes and no. What polygraph machines do is monitor specific biological functions such as pulse and skin temperature.
