What if ‘one day’ is NOW?
The group of scientists from the University of Alabama (USA) have been working on technology to decipher the content, imagery, movement and language of our dreams. It is known that our brain shows the same patterns for visual experiences during the wakeful and the sleep state, so the group of scientists used FMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) which detects brain activity, to reconstruct the data obtained from the sleep state. With the help of the trained deep neural network, which can recognize brain impulses during sleep and correlate them with a huge database, they have finally succeeded in comprehending the contents of dreams and created a device, named “Dreamcatcher”, referring to Canadian Indians’ charm, guarding your dreams.
Artificial intelligence will tell your night stories
To put it simple, Dreamcatcher is a gadget, which tracks brain and muscles activity, emerging during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, when dreams typically occur. Dreamcather decrypts information, obtained from the little unwired sensors on your head, and is able to tell you a complete story of your night adventures in the morning. Wake up, say “Catcher, tell me my last night dream” and enjoy refreshed memories while cleaning up! Moreover, Dreamcatcher has a range of other quirky features, like playing some relaxing music to help you fall asleep or ‘Smart Wake Up’ function.
Worth a shot
Just imagine how many advantages people will discover, looking into dreams beyond entertainment value! We will learn a tremendous amount about ourselves, the information elicited from our dreams will help confront our fears and train new behaviors, but what is more important, we will be able to collect our brilliant ideas! What if you, just like a famous Russian scientist Dmitry Mendeleev, who saw his periodic table of elements in a dream, will make an important discovery while sleeping? Dreamcatcher could help us understand a vastly unexplored facet of the human experience. After all, we spend about one-third of our lives asleep. Shouldn’t we at least try?
