This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Are you really sleeping then? I thought the point of sleeping was to wash away the buildup of plaque (amyloid?) in your brain. IINM the inability to get rid of it is one of the reasons for Alzheimers and dementia.
I would really like to know what they measure and how it compares between users and non-users of this ultrasonic tech. Disrupting brain functionality to be quasi awake might not be the smartest thing to do.
The technique I've used to trigger lucid dreaming is noticing when "static" text changes or is otherwise nonsense... so I have my doubts. And zero desire to learn more because I'm full up on dystopias right now.
Huh, I don't think I've ever seen writing in a dream.
One of the best indicators that you are in a dream is if you can't read something that you are trying to read. For whatever reason, reading is impossible while dreaming and most people don't even have writing in their dreams to read. I do have writing in my dreams, but only rarely and am not able to read it. I've definitely used it to trigger lucid dreaming. I also use stuff like, "wait, how am I breathing under water?"
Hey guys do you wanna fly on the plane I dreamt into reality?
I thought sleep was supposed to be my time.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But there’s still an appetite for new technologies, since the potential for creativity and problem-solving is so great and since many on the market don’t work to the extent they promise, a dreaming expert told Fortune.
The potential of lucid dreaming is less about conquering specific problems and more about finding new, creative ways to approach topics that a sleeper couldn’t previously fathom.
For example, a mathematician might not reach a specific, numerical answer to a math problem while asleep, but the lucid dream allows them to explore new strategies to tackle the equation while awake.
To create the Halo, Prophetic is working with Card79 founder Afshin Mehin, who designed the Neuralink N1 device for Elon Musk’s brain implant company.
Wollberg founded Prophetic in March alongside chief technology officer Wesley Louis Berry III, who was previously creating augmented reality art.
In response to this claim, Wollberg cited a series of studies that link the level of prefrontal cortex activation with the ability to control a dream.

Getting closer and closer to making you part of the Matrix. Your productivity is not allowed to stop.
Yes and then you wake up more tired than when you went to sleep (talking of my experience with lucid dreaming).
Upcoming app ideas from a world of restless engineers:

No thank you.
Someone somewhere is already planning how they will get people to work around the clock this way, and someone else somewhere is probably desperate enough to feed themselves or their family that they'll take it when offered.
