Thread: REM Detectors (again)

GSR (galvanic skin resistance) supposedly changes a lot (it's like when waking). Someone also recently suggested novel methods like putting capacitors and magnets over the eye and then measuring small differences with some component. I think I might try that too, if it's not too difficult to make.

Not magnet. Inductors. One would have to select a circuit that is easily influenced by the change in inductence from an inductor who inductance is easilly changed by the close proximity of flesh.

Hey, I was just wandering if anyone is continuing this or has finished it? I came across this thread and it looked interesting...

I assume no one has finished this project and made data. I was browsing the internet and cam across this site

Basically, it's the same thing except they use a microcontroller. A possibility. A self
adjusting range for a wide variety of resistance would have to be added, though...

Very nice find

I had to scroll to the bottom to see the authors. Thought for a moment it might have been from Kimpossible.

She never did develop or sell the last device that she and Placebo were working on.

On a high note, that looks like a really nice design.

Have you guys looked into this at all? I'm no engineer, but I have thought about it in regards to lucid dreaming many times. They already have it set up to determine when someone is in various stages of sleep.
