Abstract
A dream stimulator may include a substrate and a plurality of electrodes positioned along a first side of the substrate. The stimulator also may include a stimulator coupled to the substrate. At least one lead may couple the plurality of electrodes to the stimulator. Additionally, a band may be positioned along a second side of the substrate and about each of the plurality of electrodes.
Claims31
1-21. (canceled)
A method, including:
- receiving feedback from a subject regarding a lucid dreaming experience that occurred during or after (1) delivery of a first transcranial stimulation to the subject via a plurality of electrodes and (2) monitoring brain activity of the subject at least after delivery of the first transcranial stimulation;
- and
- delivering a second transcranial stimulation to the subject via the plurality of electrodes, the second transcranial stimulation having a characteristic including at least one of a location, a frequency, an amplitude, a duration, or a timing of stimulation, wherein the characteristic is based on at least one of the monitored brain activity or the subject feedback regarding the lucid dreaming experience.
A method, including:
- positioning a plurality of electrodes on a forehead of a subject;
- sensing whether the subject is experiencing a Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep period;
- and
- delivering transcranial stimulation to the subject via the plurality of electrodes to induce or continue a lucid dream.
1 more element
A method, including:
- positioning a plurality of electrodes relative to a head of a subject;
- delivering transcranial stimulation to the subject via at least one of the plurality of electrodes at a first frequency;
- ceasing delivery of transcranial stimulation at the first frequency;
- monitoring brain activity of the subject at least after ceasing delivery of transcranial stimulation at the first frequency via the at least one of the plurality of electrodes;
- and
- delivering transcranial stimulation to the subject via at least one of the plurality of electrodes at a second frequency, different than the first frequency, so as to induce or continue a lucid dream.
3 more elements
A method, including:
- positioning a plurality of electrodes relative to a head of a subject at specified locations of a standardized 10-20 system of brain locations, wherein positioning includes positioning a first electrode at approximately the F4 or AF4 location, and positioning a second electrode at approximately the F3 or AF3 location;
- delivering transcranial stimulation to the subject via the plurality of electrodes at a first frequency;
- ceasing delivery of transcranial stimulation at the first frequency;
- determining a change of frequency of brain activity of the subject from the first frequency towards a second frequency exhibited by a brain of the subject, after ceasing delivery of transcranial stimulation at the first frequency;
- and
- delivering transcranial stimulation to the subject via the plurality of electrodes at the second frequency.
