- Their "Morpheus-1" platform analyzes EEG scans to identify lucid dream brain patterns
- Focused ultrasound is then used to stimulate those same regions and recreate the state
- An expert said more research is needed to prove the device works as described
- There are ethical concerns around a consumer device that alters brain activity without oversight
