Dreamy song will be songs that we create while dreaming. We might soon be able to record the tunes we hear in our dreams, thanks to a system that’s under development.
Dreamy Songs Instrument is Your Dreams
A team has come up with a combination of hardware and software able to decode a melody being played via arm movements into a recorded tune.
The system relies on lucid dreaming: knowing that you’re dreaming while you’re dreaming. Scientists have been working for decades on trying to get information into and out of the brain during lucid dreams.
Dreaming and muscle movements signals and patterns were then run through a bespoke software program to interpret the rhythm and recreate the beat of the song. In some cases the arm movements were too weak to register, but three successful recordings were made.
“The results demonstrate proof of concept for transferring melodies from dreams into reality,” write the researchers.
“Three of four participants completed the experimental task and in most attempts were able to transmit rhythmical sounds from lucid dreams.”
The research has been published in Dreaming.
