A Thread: Results of testing my Dream Phone.

The Dream Phone is my device that allows a sleeping subject to communicate from a dream.

This iteration-Dream Phone SD- induces lucid dreams, detects morse code eye messages from the lucid dreamer, and stores them on an SD card.

Dream Phone SD Test
Night 1

Turned off by itself. Think needs new 9v battery. Took it off at 1:48am.

Until that point, had trouble sleeping because of hyper awareness, desire to fall asleep.

LEDs detached from board, need to reattach.

Dream Phone SD
Night 2

Trigger lights went off while I was awake. So need to lengthen the machine’s WAIT_FOR_SLEEP time.

Also need to test the machine’s location for electrical noise, because it went off when my eyes weren’t moving much. It’s sitting on top of a power strip.

An EMG electrode on my chin sensing muscle tone could eliminate the need for a WAIT_FOR_SLEEP time. But I would have to switch to another biosensor kit to add that electrode channel because @BackyardBrains discontinued their biosensor shield.

I tested the EOG signal. As I suspected, the power strip that the dream phone is sitting on top of is creating electrical noise which alters the EOG signal causing the dream phone to think I’m in REM when I’m not.
