EEG Imagery to help Sleep

Good sleep is always characterized as positive because of those who do generally tend to be more calm and relaxed contrary to their sleepy brethren who are more likely to focus on worries, tensions and otherwise engaged in other unpleasant thoughts. Therefore it makes perfect sense to influence these cognitive modes for own benefits. There is a widespread misconception that technology and sleep are always incompatible, this notion is what PhD researcher with RMIT University's Exertion Games Lab, Natahan Semertzidis along with PluginHUMAN art duo, Dr Betty Sargeant and Justin Dwyer has changed. They studied the effects on participants by involving an interactive bed and ambient music controlled by the artists, and kaleidoscopic visuals controlled by the user with their own brainwaves, via EEG. Each brain frequency is associated with a different colour and everyone’s brain activity generates a unique imagery which showed a 21 per cent drop in general negative emotion and a 55 per cent drop in feelings of fear afterwards.

The proficient understanding of the above-mentioned facts add to the increasing influx of tourists that aim for medical tourism in Kerala and one of the very first steps that need to be implemented is the use of medical disposables such as probe covers into the general system of health care.
