1.) When awoken from within a dream, the trick is to not move as the sensitive build-up of micro-doses of neurotransmitters, gets washed away when you toss or turn.
2.) The easiest way to detect the dream state is to watch for eye movements. And the most comfortable way to do this is to have the subject sleep on their side facing an night-vision (infrared) camera.
3.) REM sleep is not equal to dreaming. The REM sleep phase as classified by sleep staging from EEG does not necessarily mean that a subject is dreaming. Eye movements are a more reliable indicator that the subject is hallucinating.
Hello sir where the csv file stored in pc ?
In ez430 chronos868mhz
Right-click on a log in the tree view in Lucid Scribe, select “Export to” -> “File” and then click on “Export” and select “Comma Separated Values (*.CSV)” under “Save as type”.
Sir, I am new to ez430 will u help me ?
Actually I have device and i want to observe the graph temperature,altitude,etc., in the system…
Download Lucid Scribe and the TI EZ430 Chronos plugin. It only monitors the accelerometer data at the moment – I will see if I can add the temperature and altitude.
Have you ever worked with data coming from IR sensors pointed at a sleeper’s eyelids? I’ve been staring at the data from my own devices and can’t figure out anything from it 😦
Yes. Pro tip: draw a contrasting triangle on the eyelid…
Can you pick up the IR sensor in Lucid Scribe, perhaps with the Halovision plugin?
You can download that Halovision plugin from here: http://lucidcode.com/2013/11/26/halovision-0-9-1/.
And Lucid Scribe from here: http://lucidcode.com/lucidscribe/.
I downloaded LucidScribe yesterday, but I’m having trouble getting it working. In Windows (7, 64-bit) it’s throwing a “Class not registered” error (from LucidScribe.Splash.LoadGraph()), and Mono in Linux says it can’t find the entry point 😦
Lucid Scribe requires Windows Media Player. You can download it for free from Microsoft: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/download-windows-media-player. Let me know if that helps, then I will make the error message a little clearer.
Ok, I’ve got LucidScribe running along with the HaloVision plugin (though since I installed HaloVision, it keeps giving me an Unhandled Exception, but it seems otherwise to be working).
This seems to be wanting a camera hooked up to it, but I don’t have one. I’m using a close-range IR distance sensor (a combination of IR LED and IR phototransistor) to measure the distance from my sleep mask to my eyelid. It provides only a single number per eye: as I move my eyes, that number changes (higher when I look in one direction, lower when I look in the other). Is there some way to import my data and have it analyzed?
What format is your data in? And how are you currently recording it?
I’ve got a self-contained mask that I wear overnight, built on an 8-bit AVR microcontroller (i.e. the same microcontroller that’s at the heart of the Arduinos). It takes 8 readings per second from each eye and stores them on a 1 MB flash chip (which is just enough for a single night). In the morning, I plug it into my computer to download the data. For my purposes so far, each night’s data lives in an individual flat text file in which each line has the left and right readings along with the time those readings were taken:
00:01:44.500000 0630 0318
00:01:44.625000 0629 0319
00:01:44.750000 0628 0319
etc
I can, of course, reformat that any way I need to.
Elite. Mail them to me and I will convert them to LSD and see if I can find any patterns…
