A wearable glove-like device that can “hack” and influence dreams, Team of MIT researchers is developing this device called “Dormio”. It senses the users slipping into hypnagogia which is the semi-lucid state between wakefulness and sleep.
It plays prerecorded audio, typically comprising one word. The researchers have found that the audio content successfully showed up in people’s dreams. They have experimented with 50 people.
The possibilities are endless to help cure traumatic memories or bad nightmares. However, if they move closer to commercialization there could be serious ethical concerns as the device has the potential to influence the subconscious mind.
