What is Morpheus?
Morpheus, named after the Greek god of Dreams, represents a monumental leap in neural technology. Walberg introduces Morpheus 1, boasting 100 million parameters, drawing parallels to GPT-1’s similar scale. The device is geared towards inducing and stabilizing lucid dreams through the manipulation of acoustic shapes. Morpheus 1’s potential lies in transcending the limitations of previous paradigms in neuroscience, particularly the use of transcranial focused ultrasound (tfus).
How Morpheus Works?
Walberg details Morpheus 1’s operational mechanism, explaining its departure from traditional neurosimulation methods. Unlike the limited depth and precision of electrical or electromagnetic simulation, tfus, with its 3D steering capabilities, can delve centimeters into the brain with millimeter precision. The key innovation lies in Morpheus 1’s ability to use multi-element transducers, creating an orchestra of neural activity, targeting the entire ensemble rather than a statistically significant part. The introduction of acoustic holography showcases the device’s power in steering these transducers, unlocking new possibilities in neuromodulation.
Technology Behind Morpheus
PropheticAI employs a unique neuroimaging technique, simultaneous EEG and fmri, utilizing non-ferromagnetic EEG sensors to ensure compatibility with fmri data. This approach facilitates capturing a simultaneous dataset with temporal correspondence crucial for building Morpheus 1. The generative ultrasonic Transformer architecture, with encoder and decoder blocks trained on EEG and fmri data respectively, outputs spatial targets for neurostimulation. This allows Morpheus 1 to replicate neural firing patterns, inducing specific brain states, such as those associated with lucid dreaming.

Morpheus 1 in Action
In an exciting live demonstration, Eric Walberg showcases Halo headband capabilities. The EEG data, collected from the Halo headband, interacts with the model, producing spatial instructions for transcranial focused ultrasound. As the prefrontal cortex becomes the focal point, the device autonomously evolves, creating sequences of instructions that aim to induce and maintain lucid dreams. Witnessing this automated experience, one can’t help but envision a future where slipping into a lucid dream is as simple as putting on a headband and closing your eyes.
Impact on Neuroscience
Morpheus 1’s contribution to neuroscience lies in its departure from the statistical mechanics paradigm. Rather than targeting statistically significant brain areas, the device’s transformative capabilities enable it to steer multi-element transducers, creating spatial targets for neurostimulation. This innovation opens avenues for exploring the complexities of human consciousness beyond just lucid dreaming. By focusing on EEG activities like gamma frequencies associated with lucid dreaming, Morpheus 1 is set to reshape future neuroscientific research.
Future of Morpheus
The future of Morpheus 1 extends beyond lucid dreaming. Eric Walberg emphasizes that PropheticAI imagine itself not merely as a lucid dreaming company but as a conscious experiences company. Morpheus 1 and its successors aim to explore the vast state space of human consciousness. Its fully working prototype will be available in March. The team plans to launch subsequent models,each building on the previous, expanding both in parameter count and accuracy. PropheticAI invites enthusiasts to join as early beta users, potentially becoming pioneers in the ultrasonically induced lucid dreaming experience.
Our Say
In conclusion, Morpheus 1 stands as a testament to PropheticAI’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of neural technology. The successful fusion of EEG and fmri data in a multimodal Transformer showcases the device’s potential in inducing conscious experiences beyond our current understanding. As the team anticipates the launch of Morpheus 2, 3, and beyond, the prospect of a swelling parameter count and enhanced accuracy signals an exciting journey into the uncharted territory of human consciousness. PropheticAI invites individuals worldwide to be a part of this revolutionary exploration, potentially becoming the first to step into the dream world unlocked by Morpheus 1. The future of conscious experiences is here, and it’s just the beginning.
