Within five years, devices like this will be as common as smartphones. LucidMe PRO + SomnoAI is the beginning. #AI #Wearables #DeepTech #Neurotech #SleepTech #HealthTech

So little news from REMspace lately? A technological revolution is unfolding right now. The pace of change has become exponential. We’re putting all our energy into not just keeping up with what’s happening, but finding ways to turn it in a useful direction.

There is a high chance that LucidMe PRO won’t be the first smart sleep mask we’ll release this year.

LucidMe PRO: No more preorders. Why? We’ve removed LucidMe PRO preorders because the first batches will now be focused on enterprise customers. Existing preorders are unaffected and will still be among the first to receive the mask. When will we ship? We’re fixing two remaining hardware related to wireless charging and the dry EEG pathway. We expect the updated circuit board in 3–4 weeks. After that, we’ll have a much clearer shipping timeline. New LucidMe app update We’re also improving the firmware, neuro models, frontend, and backend. The latest version of the LucidMe app now shows real mask settings and logs. There’s still work ahead, but we’re getting much closer to the finish line.

In June, we conducted the first pilot test of our new LucidMe PRO mask and its sleep-onset assistance mode. The test involved participants from the San Francisco Bay Area who experience significant sleep difficulties. Although the initial results were encouraging, we will be able to draw more reliable conclusions this fall, after completing larger-scale testing with a broader group of participants.

Phase Today Is Back We have resumed tracking all news, discoveries, and scientific publications related to lucid dreaming and other phase states. From now on, all news will be published almost exclusively in the LucidMe app, alongside practitioners’ dream journals: App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/id9074… Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/d…

We’ve completed the first pilot test of the LucidMe PRO mask with people who have sleep-onset problems. So far, the results are very promising. We’ve learned a lot and are now fixing many of the issues we discovered.

Sleep staging models in LucidMe PRO We’ve started training production-ready sleep staging neuromodels using the new polysomnography devices we developed last year. Numerous participants and hundreds of recorded nights are ahead of us. The process will continue until the end of the year, but the first accurate models should be ready by July. A simpler model will perform real-time inference directly in the mask, while the most powerful model will run on our servers. In the photo: one of our key scientists, Andrey Shashkov.

Even though hardware is the easiest part of the project, almost all our engineers have the same pile of LucidMe PRO prototypes as in the photo.

Two years in the US

Three years ago, after four hours of suppressing basic instincts and significant blood loss, I took a shower and worked for another ten hours, including giving an online lecture. The second time, it could have been done twice as fast. And with surgical equipment available, I could have finished it within an hour.

After six months of struggles, we finally got a stable prototype of the LucidMe PRO mask. All declared data are being logged and processed by basic neural models in real time. From this point on, everything should become much easier and faster. The wires in the photo are for debugging the EEG pathway.

All news is now published in the LucidMe app first. For example, yesterday we posted an update about the new masks. After the new features we are rolling out in the upcoming updates, the app will become the main hub for most lucid dreamers from around the world Android: play.google.com/store/apps/d… iOS: itunes.apple.com/us/app/faze…

I usually don’t recommend books, but this one is different. “Why Does Transurfing Work?” by Yuri Optimist explores an unusual intersection of lucid dreaming, artificial intelligence, and the nature of reality. It reads like an intellectual experiment, inviting you to see how far your thinking can go. Yuri is also one of the key people behind REMspace, which makes this exploration especially relevant. If you’re interested in lucid dreaming, the future of consciousness, or ideas that push boundaries, this is worth your attention. Amazon: amazon.com/dp/B0GY9KMTZ8

REMspace has fully delivered the LucidMe smart sleep mask, and the entire team is now focused on developing its next version. Despite everything, LucidMe was the most feature-rich smart sleep mask by a wide margin. Even in the context of lucid dreaming, it helped users enter such states not only through awareness during dreams, but also during falling asleep and waking up. We did our best, but LucidMe still had significant limitations: - I deliberately wanted to build a device with minimal sensors, since even breathing shows clear patterns across sleep stages. However, even two microphones couldn’t provide a reliable signal channel for all users. - To unlock the full potential of the device for lucid dreaming, users needed a deep understanding of both the topic and the mask’s features. This is too complex for most people. - The microcontroller’s resources only allowed for very basic neural models, limiting the overall quality of functionality. These lessons will allow us to create something that is at least 10 times more powerful than LucidMe.

Transformation into Animals and Gender Change in Lucid Dreams We’ve published a new paper exploring the remarkable flexibility of bodily perception in phase states, a phenomenon familiar to many practitioners. In these states, the brain can generate entirely new body parts (such as tails or wings) that feel completely natural, as if they’ve always been there. Experiments like these help us better understand the nature of the self and its connection to the body. As phase states become more accessible, this may become one of the most compelling applications of the phenomenon.

Zhunusuva) for their contributions, as well as all participants of Project Elijah who took part in the experiment.

More than three months without a day off. We'll soon start showing the results of this work...

In LucidMe PRO, dry electrodes by default (EEG/EOG/EMG). Gel electrodes when you need maximum overnight stability.

This is what the future of sleep looks like
