☆ Forever working: Gadget plans to tap into your productivity while you sleep by inducing lucid dreaming

Prophetic, a new startup founded earlier this year, is developing a device to induce lucid dreaming. AdvertisementA new venture-backed startup is capitalizing on the productivity that can be channeled while lucid dreaming, Fortune reports. Allowing customers to tap into lucid dreaming could pave the way for productivity at nighttime— for example, engineers could code in their sleep, per Fortune. Prophetic wants to subvert the lack of activity that happens during sleep by inducing a lucid dream state. The product is grounded in ongoing research by the Donders Institute in the Netherlands that targets specific brain areas and ultrasound frequencies for optimal lucid dream induction.

☆ This AI company wants to help you control your dreams
  + stars: | 2023-10-04 | by ( Hayden Field | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
It's a tech startup building what the company calls the "world's first wearable device for stabilizing lucid dreams." Lucid dreams occur when a person sleeping becomes aware they're dreaming and may be able to control parts of the dream. Humane AI, a company founded in 2017 by former Apple employees, debuted its wearable — the AI Pin — on the runway last week at Paris Fashion Week. And famed iPhone designer Jony Ive and OpenAI's Sam Altman are also reportedly discussing an AI hardware project. The co-founders have the type of lofty dreams typical of a modern-era tech startup, with Wollberg comparing the company to OpenAI.

☆ Forget what you learned in school — the brain might not work in 'regions' after all

NetflixWhite matter ruling how we think and feelBrains are made up of two types of material: white matter and gray matter. The new model from Forkel and her colleagues changes that, giving white matter a much bigger role. One example of how white matter connects unexpected regions of the brain is the incredible injury of a railway worker 150 years ago. White matter may organize the regionsIt's also possible that it is the white matter that directs which region does what in the gray matter, rather than the other way around. This analysis suggests that these studies will have to be rethought to look at the brain as a whole.
