This is a seriously unique application of ML models.

Using an ultrasonic transformer to induce and sustain lucid dreaming on just 100M parameters.

"da fuq?"

They built a model to respond to brain activity and are using ultrasonic frequency to stabilize certain activity so you can "wake up" in ypur dreams... 🤯 https://m.primal.net/HZLQ.mp4

Being able to lucid dream whenever you want would be insane

Ultrasonic... so microwaves? You're going to shoot microwaves at peoples heads as they sleep?

That's gonna be a pass from me.

Ultrasonic sound waves not electromagnetic. But you’re already getting microwaves in your head while you sleep šŸ«‚

Sound implies 20hz- 20khz; so the phrase "ultrasonic sound" is something you will only hear uttered by true geniuses...

Oh haha I didn’t realize you were kidding. I’ve always thought of the word ā€œsoundā€ as having the human perception meaning as well as the vibration meaning independent of human perception. I guess you’d say the tree falling in a forest with nobody around makes a noise but not a sound :)

I see it now though. It is a bit redundant

Swing and a miss... it's an oxymoron.

Also microwaves can and do exist as both "sound" and electromagnetic. You are describing the medium (air vs. conductive wire), I was describing the frequency range.

šŸ˜‚

I’m calling this one. Nobody in the whole world seriously uses the word microwave to refer to GHz sound. I’m gunna need a source that isn’t the note I’m replying to 😜

?? If you're not familiar with the frequency spectrum:

(I had to search for an infographic with colors and pictures because I figured it would help someone like you.)

Hahahaha

My šŸŒ¶ļø in physics.

Just in case you’re serious, I’m sorry I thought you were trolling. I’m happy to explain more than just the below šŸ«‚

That diagram is all about electromagnetic radiation, and so is every diagram or explainer section you’ll find that is talking about microwave frequencies. While the same frequencies are probably technically possible in some materials, the term ā€œmicrowavesā€ is not used in the context of the pressure driven oscillations of non-charged particles, it’s strictly an electromagnetic concept. šŸ«‚šŸ«‚šŸ«‚

I mean I could be wrong, but I’m gunna need at least one receipt. I’d zap ya though 🄹

So in your mind the frequency of radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, x-rays, ect. only exist as an electrical "signal" and don't travel through non-charged particles i.e. the air.

Have you been participating in these microwave trials by any chance?

I don’t know what you mean by microwave trials.

They exist as both waves of electrical field and magnetic field. They do travel through materials that allow them to pass through. This interaction depends on things like whether there’s an electron that has an orbital transition that matches the energy of the passing wave. But you can tell that they don’t need the molecules because they can go through vacuums, unlike physical vibrations like sound or ultrasound.

Capta real quick for me. Send me back the zap I just sent. šŸ«‚

It's come full circle: Microwave trials. The guy in the video was talking about blasting people with an "ultrasonic transformer" (I assume he means a transducer not a transformer) and by ultrasonic I was guessing microwaves, probably not infrared light or higher.

I'm sure the participants don't have much to worry about as I don't think they will miss any grey matter this quack happens to fry with his contraption.

Also, no I'm not captca-ing those sats back to you. I'm not a robot, and I deserve some form of tuition for the schooling I just gave you.

Haha well I was looking over your history and decided you’re probably not a bot. For now that method usually works. The sats are yours šŸ«‚

Ohhhh that’s where you got the idea of electromagnetism. Nah that usage of the word transformer has reference to AI, not electricity.

Again, nobody uses microwaves to refer to sound.

ā€œTFUSā€ he defines early in the video and is the sound part (yes I know you’re gritting your teeth at the non-perceptive use of that word, but believe me it’s standard parlance in physics)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8507972/

2:23 or so is where he brings in the AI with the concept of a ā€œNeural Transformerā€.

The video is techno-mumbo-jumbo though, so this stuff being confusing/opaque is THE key part, the active ingredient of his pitch haha.

šŸ«‚

I'm glad we sorted all this out.. most productive thing I've done all day. Later buddy, I'm going to bed.

According to your definition, but everyone’s :)

It’s not ā€œmicrowaves,ā€ but it still definitely does not create a sense of comfort. I mean I don’t want an all night ultrasound on my brain either… but the prospect of controlled lucid dreaming is also extremely tantalizing.

If it works, I almost feel like I’d have to try it at least once just to see.

bruh

My moneys on this being vaporware. Big claims, light on details.

"How to get millions of dollars by speaking gibberish and making promises of dangerous experiments."

So basically a new version of the Gateway Experience?

I’ve only had one lucid dream while at university, but it was wild and unforgettable.

Unfortunately it only lasted momentarily because I woke myself up by how fast my heart-rate was.

I liked this book about it. It helped me focus.

I'm calling bullshit šŸ˜‚ Dude has some brain pictures, a PowerPoint and a typeform

A similar technique was in development in a study in Switzerland in 2003. It was unaffordable for me at the time.

Still waiting for my iBand+ from kickstarter. It’s been like 10 years. šŸ˜‚
