Dreamento: an open-source dream engineering toolbox for sleep EEG wearables
SoftwareX December 1, 2023 Mahdad Jafarzadeh Esfahani, Amir Hossein Daraie, Paul Zerr et al.
Dreamento is an open-source Python package for dream engineering using sleep electroencephalography wearables. It provides real-time functions including data visualization, power-spectrum analysis, automatic sleep scoring, sensory stimulation (visual, auditory, tactile), text-to-speech communication, and event annotation. Offline functions support post-processing and integration with other modalities like electromyography. Developed primarily for lucid dreaming studies, Dreamento can also be applied to other sleep research areas such as closed-loop auditory stimulation and targeted memory reactivation for memory consolidation.
