Theres no working product yet. Last this was posted they're measuring lucid dreamers sleep, AND THEN they're going to use some transducers to stimulate someone's brain to hit observed conditions. But it's all in theory now.

I wouldn't want to be a guinea pig for this, that's for sure. Can't imagine anything going wrong.
