Capabilities
The user can sense when they are lied to by various means.

Associations

 * Empathy by reading the emotions of another person to try and see if they are telling the truth.
 * Enhanced Hearing by hearing the heartbeat increase.

Limitations

 * May not differentiate between a white lie or a secret.
 * May not be able to differentiate lies if subject/targets have no pulse difference.
 * Pace makers just beat at one pace so it does not register on a polygraph
 * Divided Mind would allow a user to defeat this technique, by only allowing one personality to know.
 * Power can be subconsciously blocked when around someone the person trusts. Say a best friend or a family member.
 * Those who are skilled can control their heartbeat or emotions and this does not register on a polygraph.
 * Useless against Apathy.
