Baird, Mota-Rolim & Dresler — Lucid Dreaming Review
A modern synthesis: neural correlates, induction, open questions. The field as of the late 2010s, written for scientists.
Benjamin Baird, Sérgio A. Mota-Rolim, and Martin Dresler review the cognitive neuroscience of lucid dreaming — what is known, what is scored, what is still argument.
Who, where, when
Wisconsin / Natal / Donders. PMID 30880167.
What the work actually did
Neural correlates, induction evidence, theoretical framing. A desk reference for anyone who wants the scientific object rather than the forum object.
What it does not prove
Reviews are snapshots. Consumer audio is barely a footnote in this literature, and should stay that way until someone runs the trial.
How to use this page
Pair with Voss and Stumbrys. Keep this console honest: a stereo instrument, optional at the edge of sleep, never a scored lucid-REM machine.
