Thread: REM Detectors (again)

Placebo I found a device not long ago on the internet called an OCZ NIA its a headbad that u could quite easily sleep wearing and it can detect alpha/beta waves muscle movement and lateral eye movement they cost around £85. The plug into computer via usb and come with calibration software and software that allows u to map ur brains events into emulated keyboard keypresses eg u could have 1 key press for looking right and another for looking left. The OCZ NIA is origanlaly aimed at gamers but you could quite easily detect these keypresses in another custom made program and then send out messages like "you are dreaming" or something to some small in-ear earphones that u also wear while you are asleep or something. I beleve alpha and beta waves also change during different stages of sleep which may make detecting dreams more acurate with some experimentation.

The ideal mask for multi-player games is one that has very little logic; just transmits eye movement data to the computer and receives commands back to flash a light or sound (or different colored lights or sounds); the computer and the website do all the logic to determine REM and deliberate eye movement signals and coordinate the lucid dreams.

I've tried to follow this thread, but I seem to be really missing the overall idea. I want to make a Kvasar or some type of mask that can function similar to the NovaDreamer's REM detection.

Can someone point me to the posts in here that will get me to that point? I have a fairly decent understanding of basic electronics, so I just need some help figuring where to go next. Thanks.

Thanks! I'll research that.
