Devices That Capture Dreams

The fMRI Dream Decoder

Japanese scientists used fMRI scans to map brain activity during sleep. They managed to reconstruct images from dreams using AI trained on visual data.

MIT’s Dormio Device

Dormio detects when you’re falling asleep and plants ideas into your dreams. It captures that early dream state to guide and retrieve dream content.

LucidCatcher Headband

This wearable stimulates your brain with light electrical pulses during REM sleep, helping you become aware inside dreams and increasing dream recall accuracy.

NeuroSky MindWave

An EEG headset that reads brainwaves to monitor sleep patterns, made for gaming, is now used to explore the possibility of tracking and influencing dreams.

iBand+ Smart EEG Tracker

Detects REM sleep and plays gentle audio cues to trigger lucid dreams. It logs brain activity to help users understand and potentially remember their dreams.

The Dream Recorder (Concept)

A theoretical device that could convert neural activity into video. Still speculative, it would rely on AI to visualize dream content from brainwave patterns.

Facebook’s Mind-Reading Wristband

Designed for thought-controlled computing, this wristband detects neural signals from your arm. It`s a step toward decoding thoughts—and maybe dreams too.
