Experiment. Improve.
STELLA SONORIS
Welcome to Stella Sonoris, a mobile app dedicated to the enthralling world of lucid dreaming. Designed for dream explorers, this experimental app not only offers a simple and personalized approach to induce lucid dreams at night, but also provides tools to live your days more consciously. It features several unique capabilities, including the ability to send sound signals during REM sleep phases (when we dream most intensely) and the option to talk to oneself in dreams through pre-recorded voice messages. One of the most significant studies on this topic was published in Current Biology in 2021. It demonstrated that communication from the physical world to the dream world through auditory means is indeed possible. This groundbreaking research provides substantial evidence for the feasibility of auditory communication with individuals in a dream state, marking a notable advancement in the understanding of lucid dreaming and dream interaction.
SOME KEY FEATURES
1. Reality check through sound signals: Our reality test feature sends subtle sound signals throughout the day, seamlessly continuing into your REM sleep cycles. Choose the sound that suits you best for these reminders, and have fun with creative tests: Can you fly? Look at your hands and count your fingers. Close your eyes and reopen them. There's no shortage of ideas! By the way... are you really sure that you are awake now? Do a reality check.
2. Voice recording for dream induction: Imagine someone calls out your name on the street; instinctively, you turn around. Similarly, this app makes you aware that you are dreaming by hearing yourself calling your own name. Stella Sonoris thus allows you to use your voice to guide you into the world of dreams. And to enhance the experience, you could even give yourself personalized instructions!
3. Customizable sleep cycles: A typical night includes 3 to 6 sleep cycles, each each manually adjustable, and featuring both NREM and REM stages. It's during the REM phase that dreams are more vivid and memorable. We are currently developing artificial intelligence integration through a heart rate sensor to automate cycle detection, enhancing alignment with your unique sleep rhythms.
4. Create your dream soundscape: Dive into a world of auditory wonder with custom soundscapes. Mix ambient sounds and music to create the perfect backdrop for your dream adventures, or even your everyday life to help you better focus. Every sound environment has been very carefully imagined and adjusted with the sole purpose of bringing inner peace to the user.
FOR LUCID DREAMING, BUT NOT ONLY
Stella Sonoris is primarily designed to encourage lucid dreaming, but its capabilities extend far beyond the realm of sleep. Considering the close connection between states of sleep and wakefulness, the app also provides an immersive auditory environment aimed at enhancing concentration and productivity during daytime activities. Whether it's for working in a bustling office, engaging in creative endeavors, or even during gaming sessions, the ambient music and sounds of the app create a meditative state that shields the mind from daily distractions. This dual functionality makes Stella Sonoris not just a tool for nocturnal exploration, but also a daytime companion for improving focus and mental well-being.
WHAT'S NEXT?
We are excited about using wearable technology to better detect REM sleep phases. Currently, we are focusing on integrating Polar straps to analyze heart rate and its variability in real time. Additionally, through deep learning, we are concurrently developing advanced artificial intelligence algorithms that promise to further refine this detection. This is a world-first in the realm of lucid dreaming, and we are already thrilled by the results of these experiments. Stella Sonoris thus offers you a personalized and optimized experience for inducing lucid dreams, by sending sound signals or vocal instructions at the best moment to encourage lucidity in dreams. Keep an eye out for future enhancements as we continue to evolve! Stay tuned!
ROADMAP
Current step (May 2024): Hardware integration.
We are currently at the hardware integration stage and are also refining the algorithm we have developed. Stay informed about the project's progress with this Roadmap (click on it to enlarge).
