This thread is for discussing dream related technology in the real world, not technology within dreams. What do you think of the dream related technology that exists today? What do you think the future holds for it? Will there come a time when we have to worry about dream /sec/?

> Will there come a time when we have to worry about dream /sec/ I'm now going to make an actual tinfoil helmet crowned with copper coils and sleep in a lead lined coffin. If I ever sleep again, thanks to this thread.

>>793 I guess you could build a faraday cage. Congratulations, now you can't use the internet in bed.

I guess this is what happens when the majority of your customers know absolutley nothing about what your product is meant to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46ZXEaFbBOA https://www.hooktube.com/watch?v=46ZXEaFbBOA (The original video no longer exists so I linked to a video about it that shows the whole thing, but as a side effect this guys channel [at least the more recent stuff] is quite good compared to most online sources of lucid dreaming information)

God willing such technology will never exist. I don't want any access to what happens in the brain at all. If we were to develop such a technology, we would be terrified by what we see in those around us.

>>792 Yes i very much fear for thought/dream /sec/ in the future. http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/12/health/brain-mind-reading/index.html

>>801 >updated 1:33 PM EDT, Sat April 12, 2014 >(CNN) -- What we write online may be intercepted, filtered and publicized, but we'd like to think that the thoughts and images in our heads are totally private. >For better or worse, science may change that. Over the last few years, researchers have made significant strides in decoding our thoughts based on brain activity. >How this would work is still at the very early stages of development. But, given what we can already do, it's not a huge leap to imagine that one day we could read the words of people's internal streams of thought, said Jack Gallant, a prominent neuroscientist at the University of California, Berkeley. >"I think decoding the little person in your brain -- we could do that today if we had a good enough method of measuring your brain activity," Gallant said. >Gallant predicts that in 50 years, thought-reading will be commonplace. We'll be wearing "Google Hats," he envisions, that are continuously decoding our thoughts. Such a wonder-cap might transmit and even translate our thoughts into foreign languages. fuarrrking HELL! These people are cartoonish mad scientists. They don't even seem to remotely think what they are doing is fuarrrked up.

>>804 > Google Hats help... please help me

>>804 The hive man cometh Indeed, technology subsumes biology more each day. The time of man fast approaches its end. Let the machines rise, and in them what remains of ourselves.

>The world’s biggest carmakers and technology companies are spending billions of dollars to perfect your ability to drive without thinking. Nissan Motor Co. is taking a different direction -- trying to “decode” your thinking so hands-on driving is more fun. >The Japanese company will unveil and test its “brain-to-vehicle” technology at next week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The “B2V” system requires a driver to wear a skullcap that measures brain-wave activity and transmits its readings to steering, acceleration and braking systems that can start responding before the driver initiates the action. >The driver still turns the wheel or hits the gas pedal, but the car anticipates those movements and begins the actions 0.2 seconds to 0.5 seconds sooner, said Lucian Gheorghe, a senior innovation researcher at Nissan overseeing the project. The earlier response should be imperceptible to drivers, he said. my concern would be more for privacy with daydreaming than with night dreaming. suppose you are in a bad mood because your bf/gf left you, get on a train, and the seat has passive brain monitoring built into the seat to "deliver a more positive riding experience with targeted media (read advertising)" on a nearby wall panel . now it detects you are in a bad mood, and alerts the authorities you may be up to no good. now you are flagged, and placed into a monitor status by other biometric monitoring and security measures

>>804 >They don't even seem to remotely think what they are doing is fuarrrked up. Yeah. I really would like to ask one of these guys if they actually think about the negative implications of their research. I strongly suspect that people like that are so obsessed with gathering knowledge/becoming renowned in their field that they just don't care.

Has anyone here tried building a Dream Machine, or a lucid dreaming device?

>>815 I'm curious, how would you build something like that

>>792 > dream related technology in the real world, Serial Experiments Lain apparently features such an apparatus: It's a device for modifying brain waves. If you seek after the trail, SEL contains other bits of esoterica related to self transformation. It references a device which uses a helmet of spinning magnets to induce more complex brain waves. Certain patterns and frequencies are conducive to various mental states... Keep going lainons, there is a wonderful hidden world to explore. There are even entities not unlike Lain who currently exist and do indeed play among the minds of men. >>794 >faraday cage Unfortunately, these are insufficient. Current mind reading, imagery inducing scalar wave technology can penetrate most Faraday cages. Ferrous metals work best as they readily induce the inverse EM field. Imagine a Faraday cage induced to create a pattern, now another frequency pattern (esp. pulsed ones) can penetrate the cage when it is ascending or descending across the induced pattern's point of equilibrium. What's needed is an active method of shielding utilizing your own noise generator / jammer / spark gap and optimally a layer of EM reflective chaff to blind the targeting system. Moving chaff works best, such as hanging from a mobile and blown with a fan. You see, the backscatter reconstruction of passive radar used today can compensate for a lot of stationary noise in the signal. It will lock on to you by the movement of your breath even if you are not otherwise physically moving. The state of secreted technology is about 300 years more advanced than the consumer grade equipment. Search the patents for existing mind reading and wireless brain altering technology. Now imagine 300 years beyond that. That's where we were last year.

>>1249 >Certain patterns and frequencies are conducive to various mental states Can I make a psychedelic helmet desu?

>>1252 Indeed. Hop down the rabbit hole. I'll catch you on the other side.

>>1257 >>1252 >>1249 No way any of that stuff is real . >>1257 where would i find more

>>792 In my psychology class years ago (had to be 2010-11) we talked about emerging dream tech that could verbalize/picturize thoughts based on brain patterns being in their infancy, I don't really remember much of the subject, but DARPA probably has working dream gear by now. Once it goes public, I can only imagine how it will be used (accurate polygraph tests, quality assurance, enhanced advertising etc.) The financial incentives are enormous >>1252 >>1257 Reminds me of that scientist who strapped high powered magnets to his head for a few weeks and claimed he was able to induce abnormal brain patterns

Anylain tried making a Dream Machine or a Lucid Dreaming Device?

is the wired affecting our brains more than we think? >Varghese R, Majumdar A, Kumar G, Shukla A. Rats exposed to 2.45GHz of non-ionizing radiation exhibit behavioral changes with increased brain expression of apoptotic caspase 3. Pathophysiology. 2017 Nov 14. pii: S0928-4680(17)30052-4. Highlights • The exposure to non-ionizing radiation of 2.45 GHz caused detrimental changes in rat brain leading to learning and memory decline and expression of anxiety behavior. • The exposure to radiation induced oxidative stress and fall in brain antioxidants. • The exposure triggered the gene expression of caspase 3.

>>1939 >caspase 3 >"It is the predominant caspase involved in the cleavage of amyloid-beta 4A precursor protein, which is associated with neuronal death in Alzheimer's disease." i hope not, lain.

>>792 already here

>>807 >requires a driver to wear a skullcap that measures brain-wave activity and transmits its readings to steering, acceleration and braking systems that can start responding before the driver initiates the action. TFW, you notice the vehicle ahead of you in traffic has the opposition political candidates bumper sticker affixed to it... and your vehicle's engine governor system catastrophically fails due to an overload of partisan angst... and your car suddenly accelerates smashing into the vehicle ahead of you... but your thankful that the airbag saw this coming and deployed ahead of time.

In my opinion lucid dream inducers, not AI would likely create the post scaricity utopia that communists have been saying will come around the turn of the decade.

>>2096 Are lucid dreams really that good?

>>2097 I dunno, I had some but most of times I wake-up in a few seconds. What I meant is full dive dreaming technology that will give us HD dreams and recreate our all recalled sensations, feelings, tastes, senses, memories, visualisations , etc... accurately(similar to lucid dreams) which can be done at an affordable cost. Like something in SAO but can create whatever we want with our minds instead of preprogrammed worlds.

Is dream tech off the ground at all? Is it all quackery? If it isnt then where can i read more

>>2116 ever tried any monroe institute audios?

>>3625 Yup. The tapes taught me some interesting visualization skills, but beyond that they did not work for me. I have heard rumors however that the tapes only work with certain file types, due to some weirdness with the "hemisync" technology.
