DORMIO – A DEVICE TO INDUCE CREATIVITY, INFLUENCE MICRODREAMS AND EXTRACT INFORMATION DURING HYPNAGOGIA
…Horowitz said the third generation will work just by monitoring eyelid movement in sleeping subjects.“ – Motherboard – https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/ywxjvg/steel-ball-control-dreams-dormio-mit-hypnagogia
“We initiate automatic audio recording alongside interruption, allowing users to speak their dreams in semi-lucid states, not waking themselves up entirely to issue reports…
…The technology that drives Dormio is open source. That means the software for our biosignal tracking is on Github. ..And Tomás, who led that build, wrote about it step by step here. You can, for now, build yourself one. – Media – https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/sleep-creativity/overview/#faq-is-this-dreaming-what-is-stage-1-sleep
“HYPNAGOGIA, also referred to as “hypnagogic hallucinations”, is the experience of the transitional state from wakefulness to sleep… Mental phenomena that may occur during this “threshold consciousness” phase include lucid thought, lucid dreaming, hallucinations and, sleep paralysis.” – Wikipedia

COCOON – A Modern Lucid Dream Machine – By the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
“…Cocoon tracks three sleep-stages using brain activity, muscle tension, heart rate, and movement data…Cocoon uses ongoing platforms we developed including Open Sleep , Fluid BCI and Rem Mask…
…External stimuli in the form of scent, audio and muscle stimulation direct the content of the dreams. We use Dormio to detect the state between sleep and wake (Hypnagogia), influencing visual and idea generation using audio. We use Essence to alter the emotional content of dreams and memory consolidation during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and Deep Sleep. We use Electronight to administer muscle stimulation to arms and legs and change the kinesthetic content of dreams…
…Crossing boundaries both disciplinary and experiential, Cocoon offers an embodied investigation of one’s own consciousness, a philosophy in the flesh: With it users can observe and engage the torsion of their senses, see and shape dreams which are otherwise entirely uncontrollable, unlinked, and unseen” – Engineeringdreams – Dream Lab – “The Dream Lab is an initiative from the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab” – MIT Media Lab – Engineering Dreams
