āWaiting for the Barbarians movieā
did not know about this! just the bookā¦
letās see if it all flows for me to see itā¦
thank you for sharing @_Barry
great, gonna look at it soon!

I had resonance with the paradox because indeed I notice many people who have improvements but they are not aware of them, because they donāt train their awareness.
I think the best devices to track sleep are the ring options, such as this:

āthird stateā is somehow related to donating organsā¦ from my perspective 
and it sure makes a lot of sense to seeing it as life after death, allowing us to expand the awareness of how even after we are ādeadā life is SO alive. It also reminded me of studies where after a heart transplant, people feel the otherās life events and memories 
I think of this sometimes because my sonās heart and liver were transplantedā¦
How mysterious life is!..

I took part in this study. It involved taking dozens of individuals with PTSD, mostly soldiers, and training them to lucid dream to help heal their trauma. The study itself used saliva samples to analyze participants responses to the Lucid Dreaming therapy.

How was it for you @_Barry ?
Did it improve your life?
How is it to participate on a study like this?
(I have participated on a study online and it was amazing! Amazing heart connection with the researcherā¦! it was all just flowing. but if I think of being physically part of one, I think Iām too sensitive and the environment will influence me

It was a week with Charlie Morley online which was great. Iāve been to an in-person retreat with him and heās all-heart. He works with veterans and PTSD and lucid dreaming in a way no one else does and as a Vet, I appreciate it. I am pretty much worked through the service-related PTSD so it was more a supportive experience for me, but very positive, having been in research at the University level for many years.

MuseĀ® Launches Advanced Cognitive Performance Metric
Alpha Peak is a new brain health metric that provides personalized cognitive performance scoring and brain health support.
I have a Muse Headband and it does a nice job of measuring brainwaves in meditation sessions. They just came out with a new feature that has me very interested. As an old fart, I like the idea of examining cognitive health/decline and this new innovation promises to do just that. Anyone else using a Muse? Thoughts?
Signed up for the subscription so I will report on how this goes, or doesnāt . . . .

I think this type of therapy will be very groundbreaking.
Its biggest obstacle is the huge amount of time it can take to get the momentum going with the nocturnal meditations.
I think the results of this therapy will be very good in the next few decades, as the tech advances to help trigger LDs faster and more frequently.

based on the quest I did with Charlie Morley (who is soon gonna be a father @_Barry ) it takes 28 days of daily connection. The experience with you @NightHawk999 also confirmed this - when we connect daily for a period of time, something happens - quantum entanglement. It can happen with several people and it can even be on-line (the quest I did with Charlie was recorded, and even then, I guessed the psychic experience)!
also from the experience with you BB, I confirm that the daily contact + psychic exercises they all launch very high probability of being able to do it in 28 days (one moon cycle 
)
yes, he is
wonderful

Very interesting, I am glad you mentioned this.
No doubt entanglement happens, pretty amazing and magical

Muse headband is working well now that I finally figured out how to get it to read properly. The new cognitive feature is pretty interesting, given how mental degradation seems to manifest in older folks. Being an older folk I am interested to see if, and how, the Muse reflects this decline. Hereās one of the measures Iāve recorded. They range from fair to optimal, each reading being individual and not building upon what has been recorded before, except for a rough baseline:
So the idea is to meditate and keep the Alpha Peak from ranging good to optimal. So far no FAIR yet and thatās encouraging. This is coinciding with a lot of health initiatives including going gluten-free, so maybe itās the placebo effect.

Do try this at home: Age prediction from sleep and meditation with large-scale low-cost mobile EEG
Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) is an established method for quantifying large-scale neuronal dynamics which enables diverse real-world biomedical applications, including brain-computer interfaces, epilepsy monitoring, and sleep staging. Advances in sensor technology have freed EEG from traditional laboratory settings, making low-cost ambulatory or at-home assessments of brain function possible. While ecologically valid brain assessments are becoming more practical, the impact of their reduced spatial resolution and susceptibility to noise remain to be investigated. This study set out to explore the potential of at-home EEG assessments for biomarker discovery using the brain age framework and four-channel consumer EEG data. We analyzed recordings from more than 5200 human subjects (18ā81 years) during meditation and sleep, to predict age at the time of recording. With cross-validated scores between -ā , prediction performance was within the range of results obtained by recent benchmarks focused on laboratory-grade EEG. While age prediction was successful from both meditation and sleep recordings, the latter led to higher performance. Analysis by sleep stage uncovered that N2-N3 stages contained most of the signal. When combined, EEG features extracted from all sleep stages gave the best performance, suggesting that the entire night of sleep contains valuable age-related information. Furthermore, model comparisons suggested that information was spread out across electrodes and frequencies, supporting the use of multivariate modeling approaches. Thanks to our unique dataset of longitudinal repeat sessions spanning 153 to 529 days from eight subjects, we finally evaluated the variability of EEG-based age predictions, showing that they reflect both trait- and state-like information. Overall, our results demonstrate that state-of-the-art machine-learning approaches based on age prediction can be readily applied to real-world EEG recordings obtained during at-home sleep and meditation practice.
