Famed psychologist Dr. William Moulton Marston testing his Love Meter, New York, U.S.A., 1928
At Columbia University, famed psychologist Dr. William Moulton Marston is shown strapping on his latest invention the "Love Meter" onto a woman participant. The experiment is to see if blond haired or brunette girls react more to seeing scenes of affection. The polygraph machine measures the two women's heart rate, while being shown a passionate scene featuring famed actor John Gilbert and famed actress Greta Garbo. Marston reads the results from the polygraph machine and comes to the conclusion that the brunette tested a higher connection than the blonde woman. New York, U.S.A., 1928.
William Moulton Marston, also known by the pen name Charles Moulton, was an American psychologist who, with his wife Elizabeth Holloway, invented an early prototype of the polygraph. He was also known as a self-help author and comic book writer who created the character Wonder Woman.
