Documenting the Effects of Lucidity on Dreams
I got myself invited to share my findings on Contactless REM Detection in Natural Sleep at a sleep research lab. They were kind enough to loan me a clinical-grade EEG device: the CGX Patch, a single-channel forehead EEG of the kind used in real sleep studies. I first connected the CGX Patch EEG and only [ ]
Tried the INSPEC with just the LEDs for a change. The whole dream I was flying through a mountain town holding its annual midnight market: shops open midnight to 6 AM, villagers out shopping. Landed at one point on a beach and wrote LUCID in the sand. Around 30 minutes lucid total. BlazeFace held the [ ]
I rolled into position at 04:05, and the INSPEC detected that I started dreaming at 04:06. The first cue was triggered at 04:08, with a total of 12 cues until the final cue woke me up. The progressive cues work great to ensure you wake up in and eventually from the dream, but I m always [ ]
The INSPEC caught rapid eye movements from the most obscure angle last night, with the majority of my face hidden behind the blanket! Download entry as Lucid Scribe Data (LSD) (1.2 MB).
Last night s recording shows the INSPEC catching REM sleep in two positions; first while lying on my back, and then again a few minutes later after I rolled onto my side. The initial dream faded quickly after the audio cue, even after I tried stabilizing it by just observing, but I was able continue dreaming [ ]
The new TensorFlow update is working better than expected with the mobile app and detection works when sleeping in many new positions. The INSPEC device can now be said to leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence in combination with machine vision algorithms. In the minutes above, the audio cue briefly destabilized the dream, but I [ ]
The INSPEC device now records directly to the mobile app! In the minute above I can be seen testing a new sleep quality algorithm in my sleep. Oh, and the INSPEC just went live and has its own site @ inspec.me! Thanks for your patience especially if you subscribed for the production release update [ ]
Here we go my first letter from Morse done in LD. The method to apply it, is to trigger movement of the eye to be seen on EEG. So here we have the letter F for movement (LLRL) this make EEG signal an arrow down for left and arrow up for the right movement. This [ ]
The volume was too low for the audio to be heard, but rapid eye movements were detected twice. Download entry as Lucid Scribe Data (LSD) (691 MB).
Our dog woke me up from a dream at 03:30 while barking at something in the trees. I was only able to get back to sleep 2 hours later after a shower. But totally worthwhile as I had a marathon dream session with over a dozen notifications. Most of them went unnoticed as the volume [ ]
