PROJECTS: Dormio Dream Incubator
start seeing signals on the web page right when
you plug in the sensors. Check out Tomás testing
his board and sensors at youtu.be/osPBl1xgNzU.
The web interface (Figure

) is designed to:
• Connect to your Dormio sensor device
• Record your dream incubation audio stimulus,
and also an audio message to wake you up and
ask for a dream report
• Sense real-time changes in your biosignals
• Play the dream incubation audio when you slip
into the beginning of hypnagogia
• Play the dream report audio when you near the
end of hypnagogia
• Repeat this cycle as many times as you want,
for multiple rounds of hypnagogic dreams!
Here’s a clickthrough demo of how to use
it: youtu.be/oxPSyNIO6tw. Record your dream
incubation stimulus, and lie down for a nap while
wearing your DIY dream incubation device!
You’ll notice that at the end of your session,
your data and audio are downloaded to a local
.zip file, not uploaded to any server where anyone
else can see it. Your dream, your incubation, your

).
Here is a version made by Gershon Dublon, Xin
Liu, and Clement Duhart (Figure

) based on our
open source plans. They 3D printed a circuit case!
The easiest solution is just to attach a bit of
velcro to the back of the PCB you’ve assembled
(hot glue works well), wrap another piece of
velcro around your wrist, and attach the PCB to
that. You can use velcro or adhesive to attach the
battery under the board. Now you just secure the
sensors to your fingers (velcro again works well)
and you’re good to go!
7. CONNECT TO THE SITE
Now all you have to do is connect using Chrome
web browser (Chrome >v56 for Mac, Chrome
>v70 for Windows), either by locally opening the
file serverless/wearable.html from the GitHub
repo, or by going to our online web interface at
eyalperry88.github.io/dormio/wearable.html.
Power up your Dormio by plugging in the
battery. Since the board is programmed, you’ll
