Also, I wanna make sure that I H8 reality didn't burn his brains out, which is why he hasn't posted here in over a month. ;)

Dont worry im still alive and well.

I made a small but crucial mistake in my research. It turns out that tDCS is neuromodulation and not neurostimulation.

The key difference is that neuromodulation increases activity in the part of the brain targeted but only when that part of that brain is already active (baseline)

Because the DLPFC is deactivated during dreams, tDCS will have little if any effects on the DLPFC.

However the good news is that my theory is still valid. Although instead of using tDCS using tMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) should do the job since it is both neurostimulation and neuromodultatoy.

A tMS machine will be able to activate(stimulate) any lateral part of the brain regardless of whether it is active or not.

A key issue remains is that i dont have access to a tMS :uhm:

In other words, you'd have the perfect WILD?

Is there an update on this, I H8 Reality?

I ask because I find it extremely interesting. If this is true then technically, yes, the perfect lucid dream induction device will have been created by accident. Did Allan Hobson give you an update on his findings too?

Anyway, I know things can slip away and time passes by so no worries if it hasn't go forward. :)

Very interesting stuff.

This is very interesting but I wonder if you get used to this method of activation and then you stop it, will you be "trained" for lucid dreaming or is this like a "drug" that you have to keep doing to lucid dream? If that is the case, then I am not liking it that much as I am more interested in being able to lucid at will by my own self and not with the help of a stimulation.

This is how reality checks in the waking life method works, except without the use of a device. Basically, you just train that part of your brain that questions reality and soon you will become very good at it to the point of becoming lucid in every dream. I think that is a much better method compared to using an electric device to induce lucid dreaming. Of course if this device trains that part of your brain and has the effect even if you dont use it, then I see this as having potential.

"The materials used are very cheap and can be found at your local radio shack. "

Famous last words...:D:D:D

Interesting, interesting stuff! I'll give it a try, and get to radioshack!

In the pics you do not have a 9v batt, but a steady source of current I assume? Are the results better with this power source??

bump-Interesting read. Sounds like a new lucid inducind technique!

Bump again

yeah i wonder what happened. lol

Remember guys, as mentioned already, it turns out that the machine he made doesn't reactivate anything. It only increases activity in what is already active.

The only thing he may get out of this neuromodulation device is if he is already lucid. My hypothesis would be if he is lucid while this device is active, he will probably increase lucidity times like 10. However, in a non-lucid, using this, you may just get a placebo or just a random DILD. Maybe even a WILD because I can't imagine falling asleep with a wet sponge wired to my head.

Using a neurostimulation device, will probably activate anything, but apparently, he doesn't have one.
