At a time when virtual reality invites us to explore the depths of the human imagination,technology is still pale today in the face of the immense capacities of the human brain. Better than the most advanced virtual reality headset, dreams allow us to live extraordinary experiences, impressive realism, just by closing our eyes.

Unfortunately, dreams can not be controlled, and generally come to an end when we realize that we are not awake. This is at least the case for the vast majority of human beings. Some claim to have reached master the unfolding of their dreams, and gain complete freedom during their dreamlike getaways. This is the principle of "Lucid dreams".

Until now, to succeed in experiencing the lucid dream was reserved for a tiny minority of people in the world. This practice requires great spiritual discipline, long-term brain training and iron will.

iBand +, a smart health connected headband to try lucid dreaming

Today, the startup Arenar seeks to democratize the lucid dream by allowing the majority to indulge without seeing to train. To do this, the firm has developed a smart health connected banner called iBand +. This accessory allows both to help the wearer to fall asleep, and to keep control during his dreams.

A few years ago, Purva Raut, wife of Samir Raut, CEO of Arenar, had to deal with sleep disorders. The couple then tried to solve the problem with soft music. However, the intensity of the music could not be changed according to the phases of sleep. Therefore, Purva always had a tendency to wake up. The two spouses then tried to create an electroencephalogram small enough to be integrated into a smart health smart health connected object. This is how iBand + was born.

Thanks to an audiovisual technique, the smart health connected headband emits a low intensity LED light during the rapid eye movement phase of sleep. In his dreams, the user perceives this light, and feels it as an anomaly. Similarly, sound emissions do not seem to match the content of the dream. The wearer will then realize that he is dreaming, and take control of events.

Optimized sleeping conditions

Thanks to its different sensors, iBand + analyzes sleep and adapts its function according to the way the user dreams. For example, in an ordinary dream, the heart rate increases, as does body temperature. In case of lucid dreaming, the heart rate and the temperature remain normal. The algorithm of iBand + will adapt accordingly.

Subsequently, Arenar wants to connect the iBand + to the Smart health home. The banner could then communicate with the smart health connected house, to regulate the temperature of the room to optimize the sleeping conditions. In short, iBand + allows you to both sleep better and explore the mysteries of lucid dreaming.

The specialists remain skeptical

The iBand + Kickstarter campaign has just begun. Arenar is looking to raise 50000 € of funds. For the moment, the project does not seem to convince the specialists of lucid dreaming. Dr. Stephen LaBerge, pioneer of Western studies in this field, considers that the method of ocular stimulation via LED does not work. He is now awaiting evidence of the effectiveness of this banner from Arenar, while recalling that a similar project, the Aurora, was never delivered three years after the success of its Kickstarter campaign.

For its part, the startup claims to have performed clinical trials for five months, and collaborated with a sleep therapist throughout the development of the project. If you wish to participate in the project, you can contribute now to the official iBand + Kickstarter page. If not, it costs nothing to dream …
