  Your skin is invisible in the IR range. Your blood is opaque in that
range. All you need for a sensor is a IR led on one side and a IR 
photo transistor on the other side.

  Now, I've never actually built one of these, but I'm going to. Someone
is paying me to build a lie detector.

 The correct range is approx. 4000 to 7000 A I think.
