Imagine how it would be interesting, have people the opportunity to record their dreams on film, and then watch them over a cup of morning coffee. Of all the "footage" material could be an interesting series, and fantastic and exciting.
Approximately the same can be said about the musical processing of dreams. No less interesting would be to listen to what we dreamed of at night.
And, finally, it happened. Scientists have reached our consciousness and have developed a unique method that can transform dreams into a musical melody.
The method was developed by cybernetics student Aurora Tulilaulu under the guidance of Hannu Toivonen, a computer science professor from Helsinki University.
This amazing application is able to automatically record a melody during sleep.
"We managed to develop a device through which people's dreams can be heard. Recording is based on observations that are recorded during sleep phases. This is the frequency of breathing, heartbeat and movement during sleep. As a result, you will get a record of your night rest, the musical rhythms of which reflect everything that you dreamed of at night, "says student Aurora Tulilaulu, member of the device developers group.
A new way of illustrating dreams is based on an analysis of information about the flow and quality of sleep.
During the test of the application, a special small sensor was placed under the mattress of the participants in the experiment and read the data of their sleep.
Sensor signals "tell" about the heart rate and the rhythm of breathing. Thanks to these data, it is easy to determine in which phase of sleep the person is.
Joanas Paalasmaa, post-graduate student of the Faculty of Informatics, was engaged in the production of a unique device at Beddit. Happy owners of the developed "device" can "listen" to their dreams using the online service sleepmusicalization.net. In addition, the service provides an opportunity to listen to the music of other people's dreams. The developer of this service is Mikko Varis.
"Perceive your sleep as a unique musical experience!" - calls sleepmusicalization.net.
