Biofeedback and Lucid Dreaming Devices and Apps
I ran the INSPEC session with the CGX Patch EEG recording through three sleep stage classifiers: two models from ezscore (ez6 and ez6moe), and Dreamento s DreamentoScorer. All three classifiers are trained on the ZMax, so on the CGX they flipped between stages a little too often. The REM marks fall at the same times the [ ]
I recorded an INSPEC session while wearing a clinical-grade EEG device, a CGX Patch on loan from a sleep research lab after I gave presentation on Contactless REM Detection in Natural Sleep and the history of the INSPEC. The INSPEC logged a 20-minute run of eye movements that line up where I can also see [ ]
The latest INSPEC update adds BlazeFace, a lightweight convolutional network designed by Google for real-time face detection on mobile devices. It s small and fast enough to run on the INSPEC s onboard computer. And it handles the awkward inputs that overnight sleep produces cropped faces, extreme angles, infrared illumination, and partial occlusion from blankets. The face [ ]
Added a program to Lucid Scribe that trains prospective memory directly. Prospective memory is the cognitive skill of remembering to do something in the future. It is the same skill you need to remember, while inside a dream, that you were going to question reality. Each day you get a set of targets to find [ ]
Added a 28-day lucid dreaming program to Lucid Scribe. Sequenced from dream recall through induction to advanced techniques. Most lucid dreaming guides list techniques without ordering them. MILD, WBTB, FILD, SSILD, reality checks, journaling. All valid, but they don t work in isolation. Dream recall has to come first and awareness training has to come before [ ]
Added a new Progressive Volume option that makes each successive audio cue play slightly louder than the last. You can configure the increase amount from 5% to 50% per cue, with the volume capping at 100%. The volume is relative to the system s media channel volume. And some new settings to trigger a Face Lost [ ]
Over the years, Lucid Scribe has been used in more than 20 peer-reviewed publications across 15 institutions in 9 countries, some with hundreds of citations on Google Scholar. Below is a selection of these publications, organized by research area. A comprehensive list with links to each paper is available on the INSPEC research page. Emotion [ ]
REM Lights is a new lucid dreaming induction feature in Lucid Scribe that uses your phone screen as a light cue delivery system during sleep. The screen flashes at random intervals during a configured time window, providing visual cues that can bleed into your dream and trigger lucidity. Place your phone face-up on the bedside [ ]
This video shows how the INSPEC can be positioned on the bedside table to detect eye movements during REM sleep, with the Lucid Scribe app running in the background and the infrared spotlight in the frame. I usually have the infrared light on the floor, aimed at the wall so the reflected light has an [ ]
Lucid Scribe is now available on iOS! It has real-time REM detection with the INSPEC lucid dreaming device, sleep logs with video clips of detected eye movements, NREM1 detection with FILD, guided mindfulness and sensory induction exercises, daily prospective memory training exercises, targeted dream incubation, research studies, auto-off alarms, and reality check notifications.
