Yes, that could be done if I added another line or two of code. But up and down movements aren't easy to programmatically detect from an EEG sensor like in the DreamNet. Repetitive sideways movements are easier to see, so something like left-left-left-left (LLLL) would be easier for me to use send the tweet. |

That was good |

Thanks! |

Wow! Thank you Coder for your thorough answers, all this looks really interesting! |

The best way to remember it I found is to think of the characters in a way that uses sound (like music) in your head, rather than thinking of dot dash, etc. E.g: |

"for example, if I clip the reference electrode to my ear or tape it to the bone behind my ear, eye movements are mountains and the EEG signal is pristine. But if I slip the electrode into the front of my halograph along with the other electrodes; flatline. I exaggerate, but you get the idea." |

That is what I am saying - the MindWave has a clip for the earlobe. But that could easily be patched with two Band-Aids and a wire and is the last thing that has been worrying me about that campaign. |

This DreamNet kickstarter is not working very well, got $10,000 pledged by now (and estimates are it is going to get $20,000) not too close to its $30,000 goal. Well, still more than 10 days to see what happens, things might get better. |

It has to do with the way they were marketed. The aurora made it look like so simple, and they marketed it like a fool proof 100% accuracy, you are dreaming poof machine. The product you showed was way more technical in it's description, and did not guarantee insta lucid dream's, or control. In fact it marketed dream research extensively, and made it out like they want you to wake up and remember you dream, the noobs on kickstarter, will go, why support this when this wakes me up, when this other one has flashy magic lights that tell me every time I'm dreaming. They never once mentioned it makes you lucid. Which is honest, because you make you lucid, the other device Aurora is marketed with horrifically overtly impossible claims of instant everything (unless your a trained dreamer those lights will just be incorporated into your dream), I had a conversation with the programer of the Aurora on this very site and he beat around dodged and generally ignored the fact his product has awful placement of it's passive ground electrode, if it's even a ground at all. I kept on telling him you are going to get a bunch of noise with the electrodes placed on the same spot on the forehead, and he acted like he had no idea what I was talking about XD. |

Good ideas simply do not need kickstarter to get funding and this sounds like a good idea to me. I am backing for one if it looks okay. |

Hey IamCoder, only just picked up on this thread. I don't see why up and down eye movements should be so difficult. If the electrodes on the forehead are moved one up, the other down a bit, there should be a good signal. I'll have a try with my headband and report back. The eye its such a large dipole that it's easy to detect. My electrodes are just 3 in a line across the forehead, and it goes of scale for a strong flick left or right (eeg-smt and 2 active electrodes). |

I had a lucid dream where I managed to try morse code with my (dream) eyes. |

@pointofbeing Yes, you're so right! |

Hi, just wondering if the infrared red detectors are dangerous to the eye. I have Remdreamer pro but am concerned that having a IR zapping at the eye all night could cause long term damage? Can anyone shine light on this? |

The DreamNet headband is EEG based via the NeuroSky ThinkGear AM chip. No light needs to be shined! |

Ezzo, why are you asking this question over and over all over the show? |
|
That reminds me that I badly want to tape that raspi to me bed for some time now and poke around with your nice app |
|
Do it! And let me know if you need help sourcing an infrared light. |
|
Hi, im sorry to doubt you. I do have an overactive / anxious imagination but I can see that you are experienced in this field. Your experiments look very interesting. THe RemDreamers website has this passage of text. |

No worries! I hope I have put your worries to rest now... |

I think the nerosky mindwave headset probably sucks for lucid dreaming application |
