Dream Comes True as Dream Contents Are Measured for First Time

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MUNICH, Nov. 3, 2011 — Quantifying brain activity while it is in a dream state has been accomplished for the first time, leading to a deeper understanding of the differences between the brain’s wakeful and sleeping states. The ability to dream is a fascinating aspect of the human mind. However, how the images and emotions that we experience when we dream form in our heads remains a mystery.

    near-infrared spectroscopy
    Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive analytical technique that uses the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum to study the absorption of light by molecules in a sample. This technique is commonly applied in fields such as chemistry, biology, medicine, and agriculture for qualitative and quantitative analysis of various substances. Key features and principles of near-infrared spectroscopy include: Near-infrared region: NIRS typically covers the spectral range...
