Thread: New Lucid Dream Product?

I was just looking up Lucid Dream under Google/news and found some article on new device called the "Cloud 1001" that helps you become Lucid

Background
after pursuing temperature-based triggering of the device, i discovered that the variability of body temperature is too great during the night, and began to look for other methods to detect REM onset. after speaking to several doctors/researchers at Albert Einstein Medical Center, i decided to look at galvanic skin response as a legible mapping of sleep cycles. with only a vague idea that there might be some sort of connection between GSR and REM, i began gathering data on myself as i slept. this device is an outgrowth of that data mining.

Audience
anyone interested in dreaming or exploring further their own mind.

User Scenario
getting into bed, the user puts a ring-like sensor on one finger and turns on the device. it gathers data for the first hour, building a baseline figure. from that point on, whenever levels deviate below a certain point a small sound is played inside the user's pillow: a signal to remind the sleeping mind that it is dreaming. this triggers the start the process of lucid dreaming.

Implementation
materials include galvanic skin response sensor, arduino, hacked mp3 player, and a pillow.
