Speaker: Ken Paller
Topic: Lucid dreaming
Researcher Ken Paller PHD (Northwestern University) looks to determine if we can establish real-time, two-way communication with lucid dreamers. Paller’s research seeks to uncover the mysteries of the lucid dream state (lucid dreamers are aware that they are dreaming) by establishing two-way communication between an experimenter, issuing softly spoken questions, and the dreamer, communicating with novel codes that are based on specific eye-movements patterns. If successful, this work could give the topic of lucid dreaming a solid scientific foundation and deepen our understanding of human consciousness.
