One of the first polygraphs

We visited the Musee d’Histoire de la Medicine. This museum was really interesting and provided a pretty comprehensive overview of how medicine originated and the tools that were used to help people. What was really surprising was that many of these tools resemble the tools that many surgeons use today. This visit relates to the NBB course because tools used for medicine and neuroscience were housed in this museum. In addition, one of the first polygraphs is in this museum. This machine measures external behaviors such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity to indicate the inner thoughts of a person. This is very cool because it relates directly to Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology.
