There were many early attempts to build a lie detector, but in the end, scientists don't really believe they work well enough to be trusted.
To detect when people lie.
All will tell lie.
Finding information on lie detectors is easy. A police station can give you information on lie detectors. There are now lie detectors for cell phone applications. However, using the applications on phone is not a good source of proof to tell if someone is lying or not.
Smoke detectors were invented in the year 1967. :P
Lie detectors are used in law and legal issues to try to determine if someone is telling the truth or not.

Which lie?
No. They were not invented yet.
No, NASA did not invent smoke detectors. Smoke detectors were actually invented by George Andrew Darby in 1902. NASA has, however, improved smoke detectors for use in spacecraft and space stations.
Lie detectors, or polygraph machines as they're more officially known, are large contraptions that are filled with buttons, levers, paper, and measuring devices. They have been used for years in law enforcement to detect whether or not someone is actually lying to officials. The reason why people would lie to law enforcement officials is obvious - they committed a crime that they don't want to get caught for. Lie detectors can help solve this problem by asking a person who's strapped to a lie detector several questions and then analyzing the results. However, lie detectors still aren't permissible in court. This means that should a person fail a lie detector, they will not be able to be proven as lying in a court of law. And likewise, a person will not be able to use the results of a lie detector test to prove that they are telling the truth. This is because lie detectors can't actually detect if a person is lying. They can only tell if the person is displaying deceptive behaviour.
The first motion detector was invented by Russian Leon Theremin in the year 1920, but the first motion detectors used as a security device were developed in early 1950's by Samuel Bagno. The basis of these first detectors was the Doppler effect and ultrasonic waves application.
