Smart home systems facilitate humans’ domestic environments and enhance their quality of life. Voice control of devices is usually available right after one awakens in the morning. In this study, we tested a way to operate smart home technologies even before awakening with the help of electromyographical (EMG) signals from dreams. A software program was tuned to translate and digitally vocalize...

Objective. In lucid dreams (LDs), it is possible to maintain consciousness and achieve predetermined goals while in REM sleep. Since the 1980s, scientists have been searching for LD application areas. The current study is the first to demonstrate a method for controlling a car avatar with feedback from LDs. Support for this possibility could be used for personal applications and LD studies....

Objective When metacognition arises during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, people experience lucid dreaming (LD). Studies on this phenomenon face different obstacles. For example, its standard verification protocol requires at least three types of sensors. We hypothesized that preagreed frontalis movements (PAFMs), as a sign of lucidity, could be seen on electroencephalography (EEG) during REM...

Objective. Lucid dreams (LDs) are dreams in which people are aware of the unreality of the events taking place and can influence the plot. People can experience lucid dreaming either intentionally or unintentionally and can experience different emotions and perceptions that can lead to psychophysiological consequences upon waking. In this study, we investigated the possibility of achieving...

Objective. People experience lucid dreaming (LD) with different emotions and perceptions that can have psychophysiological consequences upon waking. To study the placebo without a deception effect, we tested how psychoactive drug intake during LDs affects perceptions in dreams and after waking.Method. Through two online experiments, we instructed volunteers to consume alcohol (N = 104) and...
