"The only research-ready equipment
available [for Lucid Dreaming research] is ZMax"

New Lucid Dreaming paper using ZMax:
Dream Lucidity is Associated with Positive Waking Mood (Carr et al) | (pubmed link)

New sleep paper using ZMax:
Reduced REM Sleep Percent in Frequent Cannabis Versus Non-Cannabis Users (Carr, Borcsok et al)

Epic Games, creators of Unreal Engine, have awarded a "MegaGrant" to Hypnodyne to develop a next generation neuro/biofeedback VR experience using ZMax.

ZMax was chosen for the year-long sleep study at Vernadsky Antarctic research station.

"We are ZMax in several ongoing projects at Stockholm University and Karolinska Institutet. We are mainly using ZMax for EEG recordings across many nights in peoples' own homes, and also in hospital settings where we need to have direct online monitoring of health-care personnel, sleeping during on-call shifts. From the lab we monitor EEG online from several people at the same time when they are sleeping at home or at work"

"In terms of reliability, validity, comfort and ability to modify, ZMax is the clear leader in the field of sleep trackers. Having such a device will allow easier and more accurate logitudinal studies on sleep, an area that is currently under-researched"

"We are currently using ZMax to collect dream reports in REM periods across a night of sleep in participants at home, and to attempt to induce lucid dreams in participants using visual and vibration stimulation during REM sleep. We have had success inducing lucid dreams with visual stimulation in the laboratory, but ZMax opens the door to allowing participants to sleep at home and have lucid dreams in their natural environment, without ever needing to sleep in the laboratory. This is truly exciting technology for lucid dream researchers, and easy-to-use for participants"

"ZMax is truly ushering a new era of sleep science. It is comfortable to wear, easy to use, highly programmable, reasonably priced and allows for an incredibly fast data collection. It has accelerated my lucid dream research, allowing me to test various stimulation protocols and patterns and sift through hypotheses quickly and efficiently. Studies that would have taken me months, even years to conduct, can now be done easily, in a matter of weeks and for a fraction of the cost. Besides aiding lucid dream research, ZMax applications are countless; From investigating the impact of various variables of interest on sleep, to testing out the efficacy of sleep related products."

"I have been using the ZMax daily for about 6 months now. From a user perspective ZMax is easy to apply and use and very comfortable to wear. All other EEG-based sleep systems I have tried before the ZMax were not practical enough to use on a daily basis, whilst the ZMax is."

SIMPLE WEARING AND
DATA COLLECTION

MULTI-NIGHT RECORDING

Do away with the costs and hassle associated with data collection. Your participants do not need to spend the night at your sleep lab. Nor do you need to help "rig" the patient with a million cables. Simply brief your participants on how to wear ZMax and the simple, 1-button operation required to start recording. Now you can record sleep with maximum patient comfort, in their familiar sleeping environment.

^*You can also view the extended how to wear video intended for patients/participants.

When recording to the internal memory card, sleep data is recorded in sequential files. This mechanism requires no patient intervention or PC connection. It is therefore possible for the patient to borrow ZMax and easily and autonomously acquire multiple nights of sleep data. A memory card can hold 8 nights of sleep data.

RAW DATA

COLLABORATE

ZMax EDF files are compatible with your favorite software.
You can even grab real-time data with simple TCP/IP code
(examples are provided that show the meaning of the byte-code data).

With ZLab you can autoscore ZMax files for a very reasonable fee, collaborate with other investigators, track participant recruitment and briefing for your study and score and store multiple hypnograms.
