A traditional lie detector works off the principle of detecting involuntary, minute fluctuations in body responses (predominantly pulse rate) to questions posed to the subject. Several control questions establish a baseline for normal pulse rate when responding to questions. Questions where the subject's pulse rate is recorded at higher than the control are interpreted to mean deception. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The Professor's lie detector appears to operate off a different principle of brain waves. It is unclear exactly how this is supposed to have worked as the gourds have no internal connections to the subject's head and appears ill-fitting on all except the Skipper. It is also unclear as to what logic circuitry is used to determine guilt or innocence when sounding the horn. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The device is tested on the Professor who is caught lying when he claims he wants to stay stranded and never get rescued.
