Mouse FIELD (Finger Induced Electronic Lucid Dream) Monitors the mouse activity and plays an audio track when the mouse button is released. The idea is to catch yourself when you fall asleep ā in a dream, but awake. Another channel detects eye movements from the infrared LED sensors operated out of mice.

Pranayama Outlines breathing patterns that can be followed by keeping the lungs filled at the level of the graph. The line shows the level at which the lungs should be filled and how long the breath should be retained. The first exercise is to inhale for 8 seconds, hold for 32 and exhale for 16 (a ratio of 1:4:2). Download | Updates | Source Code | LSDBase Entries |

TI Chronos EZ430 Monitors the XYZ output from the Texas Instruments EZ430 Chronos. Includes source code. Pro tip: to change the default transmission timeout (of 3600s) you need to change sRFsmpl.timeout (and SIMPLICITI_TIMEOUT): Use the Code Composer (included with the chronos) to edit one line of code in rfsimpliciti.c, then build it for the frequency for the device (e.g.: 433Mhz) and use the TI Control Center to wirelessly update the firmware.

I need some help , someone had my brainwaves that they connected me through a p300 speller by way of a crystal radio and a antenna that is programed through a microcontroller for signal acquisition, p300 is programed with only one electrode , please contact me back so we can track this down , please š
Here are some details on p300 spellers:

There is an ongoing experiment to type from within lucid dreams with the Dreem headband: https://lsdbase.org/2022/09/01/morse-in-ld/

Hi, I own a lightstone since 2004 and have not used it in years! but I just stumbled upon your project and for the life of me I cannot make Lucid Scribe to open the lightsone plugin… it just has the CPU plugin (which works fine I guess). What is strange is that the “About” menu entry shows that the Lightstone plugin is installed, however it doesnt show in the “Plugins” window on the main interface. Any solutions?
Hi, if you restart Lucid Scribe there should be an error message regarding the LightStone initialization when it starts up. Can you send the error details? Is the device plugged in properly and detected in the Device Manager with some drivers?
Hi, i have a problem with halovision plugin! After 4-6 hours of use, a red cross appears in the place of webcam feed with an error : System.InvalidOperationException , System.Drawing . How to solve this? thanks
I’m not sure. Can you ensure that the screen does not turn off after 4-6 hours? Otherwise it might be running low on memory.
Hi and thanks paul. Yes i think it’s a memory problem but I thought that my laptop was fast enough to run the program : Intel Core i5-2410M, 2,3 GHz, 4go ram…
I do not have this problem every day, the last time, the program bug after 1 hour… today no bug…
Maybe the cause is a quick movement of my body… or the fault of my infrared spot that illuminates too much…
Hi and thanks paul. I use a laptop and i deactivate the option to shutdown after x hours…
Yes i think it’s a memory problem but I thought that my laptop was fast enough to run the program : Intel Core i5-2410M, 2,3 GHz, 4go ram…

Maybe the cause is a quick movement of my body that create a feed bug… or the fault of my infrared spot that illuminates too much… i use a spot at a distance of 2 meters with 10 leds 3mm…
New test today : red cross line after 30 min… i don’t understand
I noticed another problem since the beginning of the tests, the resolution of the saved images… Watching the small videos, I saw images in zoom mode…i inspected the saved images and few of them are in 2 differents formats : 288×251 and 640×480…normal?
thanks for your help
Hi Julien,
I’m getting the same issue about the resolution (halovision 1.0.4 or 1.0.5), like this make the app not working, I didn’t know if I will get memory error too.
Did you find a solution ?
I was finally able to reproduce this on a new laptop and this should be fixed in the latest version.
Is there any way to record the graph and save it?
The graph records automatically and can be exported by right-clicking on a day, hour or minute in the log view.
Hi Michael, I’m trying to develop a plugin for triggering it when REM sleep but I’d like to test my code when I’m working on it instead of waiting to the actual sleeping at night. Is there a way to “play” the LSD logs for seeing in realtime my development?
Thanks!
Hi Mike, sorry that I missed your message. Yes – you can right click on a minute in the tree view and select Replay. If you attach Visual Studio to the Lucid Scribe process with your plugin, you should be able to step through the values. Let me know if I can help with your plugin!
Thanks!
