The Karnataka Police are planning to conduct a polygraph test (lie detector) on the accused in the sensational Mysuru gang rape case. The police are also considering using brain-mapping technology, layered voice analysis, according to police sources.
The decision has been as the victim is not coming forward to record her statement as well as identify the accused persons. The cops are deciding to take the scientific analysis with the help of technology to gather evidence in the case to be produced before the court of law.

The brain-mapping test is done to interpret the behaviour of the suspect and corroborate the investigating officers' observation and the suspect's statements.
Layered Voice Analysis (LVA) uses a unique mathematical process to detect different types of patterns and anomalies in the speech flow and classify them in terms of stress, excitement, etc.
The victim and her family members have switched off their cell phones and are not responding to the investigating team, police sources said.
