Prophetic has successfully engineered a focused ultrasound system and has started neurostimulation.
On April 16th, Prophetic's co-founders

Unlike LLMs, Morpheus-1 is not prompted with words and sentences but rather brain states.
And instead of generating words, Morpheus-1 generates ultrasonic holograms for neurostimulation to bring one to a lucid state.

Nearly all transcranial focused ultrasound researchers operate in some fashion where they collect fMRI, use statistic analysis (linear regressions) or elementary ML to identify targets, and select the most significant, failing to capture the full picture of neural activity.

We equate this statistical paradigm to playing and holding one note on a trumpet. We want to create a symphony of neural activity.
This is the first model that can fully utilize the capabilities offered by multi-element tFUS and create symphonies.

These pulses are the atomic unit of ultrasound protocols - which we then use to induce experiences.
With the pressure scans matching our simulations - we can start neurostimulation.

We started this journey nine months ago.
In that time we have:

4. And now, start inducing conscious

Our headband uses a combination of ultrasound and machine learning models (created using EEG & fMRI data) that allow us to detect when dreamers are in REM to induce and stabilize lucid dreams.

Today, we are setting sail on an adventure to give the world the ability to explore the state-space of conscious experiences.
Like all great adventures there will be trials and tribulations, but our team will not stop until we have achieved our vision.

We made the decision to build everything from our simulation software to our transducers ourselves, so we are set up to accelerate our progress considerably from here.

What is a lucid dream?
Lucid dreams are a type of dream where the dreamer becomes aware that they are asleep. They are purely phenomenological experiences with little or no external sensory input.

What can one do in a lucid dream?
1. Productivity
In lucid dreams, you are freed from conventional laws of physics: gravity, conservation of energy, and conservation of mass. This makes the experience the ultimate sandbox for divergent problem-solving.

Our main focus is now the replication of two previously induced experiences by tFUS - focus & positive mood.
We have gone through the research exhaustively, and have all the parameters and experimental set ups.
We actually use these parameters to design our transducers.

Lucid dreams give humanity an interface to explore the state space of consciousness, where one can test epistemological methods to answer some of the biggest fundamental metaphysical questions, such as:
What is consciousness?

We run our proprietary ML models, trained with EEG and fMRI data of active lucid dream states. This helps improve the efficacy and stability of the ultrasound.
Users can also track their sleep and upload their lucid dream data to improve our models.

We ask you to imagine another highly ordered crystal, but instead of directing proteins - directs Qualia.
