They Raised a $1 Million for a Device That Gives You Lucid Dreams. Could It Really?
Summary
But the idea that you can prompt a lucid dream with ultrasound transducerstheir brain stimulation technology of choiceis still purely hypothetical, Wollberg acknowledged.This is something the language they use in marketing materials makes easy to miss. Wollberg and Berry hope that Martin Dresler, a cognitive neuroscientist trained in philosophy, and his team will be able to identify the precise brain coordinates activated during lucid dreaming and the frequency and length of the ultrasonic pulses needed to trigger them. Both were skeptical of what Propheticnow offering early product access for $100is promising within two years.Yes, lucid dreams can be induced, Tadas Stumbrys, the assistant director of research at the Alef Trust, a nonprofit organization focused on the study of consciousness, confirmed. While neurostimulation has been shown to be relatively safe when used for short periods in a lab, we do not know what might be the cumulative side effects due to the prolonged use in the uncontrolled settings such as the home environment.Benjamin Baird, a psychology professor at the University of Texas at Austin who also has published papers on lucid dreams, offered a similar blend of optimism and caution. Activating the frontal region of the brain to prompt or stabilize lucid dreams has some prior plausibility, but no one has yet produced solid empirical evidence of any technique or device that can do this, he said.And if they cant, they will lose what Wollberg told a podcast gives his product an advantage over augmented reality headsets The user is generating the content for themselves he said.
