Very effective Method of Detecting REM, Lucidity, and WEC
I have come across a recent study (2009) that shows what looks like a very much working method for detecting the states WEC (Wake Eyes Closed), Lucid, and REM.

Now that we know how to accurately detect these 3 states couldn't we build a far more effective device that assists with both the induction of lucidity, automatically stopping induction ques, etc?
Couldn't we make a device where the intensity of cues steps up until the desired state is reached and then stops? Couldn't said device also deliver lucidity reminders if lucidity fades?
