Vittorio Benussi offered significant, yet overlooked, ideas of the perception of time, forensic psychology, psychoanalysis, hypnosis, and tactile and visual perception. Benussi was also a founder of the Italian Gestalt movement. He studied respiration rate during his Graz period and conducted research using early “lie-detector” tests. As a result of these tests, he developed respirational a device that records the velocity and force of chest movements while breathing. in deceitful versus truthful reporting of information. His research involved determining the ratio of inspiration to expiration, or the duration of inhaling compared to exhaling. Deceitful and truthful responses to questions during a lie-detector test could be distinguished using this information. The U.S. polygraph lie-detector was developed later by William Moulton Marston.
