Weber","Martin Dresler"],"abstract":"We introduce Dreamento (Dream engineering toolbox), an open-source Python package for dream engineering using sleep electroencephalography (EEG) wearables. Dreamento main functions are (1) real-time recording, monitoring, analysis, and sensory stimulation, and (2) offline post-processing of the resulting data, both in a graphical user interface (GUI). In real-time, Dreamento is capable of (1) data recording, visualization, and navigation, (2) power-spectrum analysis, (3) automatic sleep scoring, (4) sensory stimulation (visual, auditory, tactile), (5) establishing text-to-speech communication, and (6) managing annotations of automatic and manual events. The offline functions aid in post-processing the acquired data with features to reformat the wearable data and integrate it with non-wearable recorded modalities such as electromyography (EMG). While Dreamento was primarily developed for (lucid) dreaming studies, its applications can be extended to other areas of sleep research such as closed-loop auditory stimulation and targeted memory reactivation.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.03977v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.03977v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"dreamento-an-open-source-dream-engineering","repo_url":"https://github.com/dreamento/dreamento","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"eeg-1","task_name":"EEG"},{"task_slug":"eeg","task_name":"Electroencephalogram (EEG)"},{"task_slug":"electromyography-emg","task_name":"Electromyography (EMG)"},{"task_slug":"text-to-speech","task_name":"Text to Speech"},{"task_slug":"text-to-speech-1","task_name":"text-to-speech"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
