Systems And Methods For Delivering Sensory Input During A Dream State
Embodiments of the invention provide apparatus, systems and methods for detecting neurological activity indicative of a dream state of a human. Many embodiments of the invention provide apparatus, systems and methods for detecting neurological activity of a human indicative of a dream state or the onset thereof and delivering an input to the user (such as an audio or other sensory input) during the dream state. Particular embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for detecting neurological activity indicative of the onset or occurrence of a dream state of a human and delivering an audio or other sensory input during the user's dream state. The audio input may be used for learning, delivering messages to the user's subconscious, and/or promoting a state of relaxation.

- 1. (canceled)
- 2. A system for delivering audio content to a user during a dream state, the system comprising:
a headband configured to be worn on the head of the user and extend over at least the user's forehead, a plurality of electrodes positioned on an inside surface of the headband to make electrical contact with user's skin in a pattern configured to detect electrical signals of the user's brain or head indicative of the dream state, the headband being configured to bend and flex with movement of the user's head to maintain electrical contact between the electrodes and the user's skin during head movement; logic resources operably coupled to the plurality of electrodes, the logic resources being configured to analyze the electrical signals to determine when the dream state occurs; an audio storage device operably coupled to the logic resources; the audio storage device configured to store audio content to be delivered to the user; and an audio output device operably coupled to at least one of the logic resources or the audio storage device, the audio output device configured to output an audio signal to the user containing the audio content.
- 21. A system for delivering audio content to a user during a dream state, the system comprising:
a headband configured to be worn on the head of the user and extend over at least the user's forehead, the headband including a skin contacting flexible strip positioned on an interior surface of the headband a plurality of sensors positioned on an inside surface of the headband to make contact with the user's skin in a pattern configured to detect a condition of the user's skin indicative of the dream state, the headband configured to bend and flex with movement of the user's head to maintain contact between the sensors and the user's skin during head movement; logic resources operably coupled to the plurality of sensors, the logic resources configured to analyze inputs from the sensors to determine when the dream state occurs; an audio storage device operably coupled to the logic resources; the storage device configured to store audio content to be delivered to the user, and an audio output device coupled to at least one of the logic resources or the audio storage device, the audio output device configured to output an audio signal to the user containing the audio content.
