This article has been recommended for improvement.
There’s frankly little to justify this “BEOSP” oddity existing as a stand-alone article at all, however. What few credible academic articles exist regarding this proposed form of lie-detection plainly describe it as hokum, perpetrated by “a team of pseudo-scientists, from the Forensic Laboratories in Bangalore and Ahmadabad,” the Bangalore branch of which has since apparently been shut down.
I would suggest BEOSP merits at most a brief mention under the larger “Lie detection” article, as well as perhaps inclusion both in articles addressing pseudoscience overall and in articles related to historic miscarriages of justice, but that we otherwise consign it to the furthest darkest depths of forgotten ephemera whence never to return.
