Stephen LaBerge (born 1947) is a psychophysiologist and a leader in the scientific study of lucid dreaming. In 1967 he received his Bachelor's Degree in mathematics. He began researching lucid dreaming for his Ph.D. in Psychophysiology at Stanford University, which he received in 1980.〔(Stephen LaBerge at IASD )〕 He developed techniques to enable himself and other researchers to enter a lucid dream state at will, most notably the MILD technique (mnemonic induction of lucid dreams), which was necessary for many forms of dream experimentation.〔(Lucid Dreaming Frequently Asked Questions Answered by The Lucidity Institute )〕 In 1987, he founded The Lucidity Institute, an organization that promotes research into lucid dreaming, as well as running courses for the general public on how to achieve a lucid dream.〔(About the Lucidity Institute )〕 In the early 1980s, news of LaBerge's research using the technique of signalling to a collaborator monitoring his EEG with agreed-upon eye movements during REM, helped to popularise lucid dreaming in the American media. The first scientifically verified signal from a dreamer's mind to the outside world came several years earlier in 1975, from a study conducted by Keith Hearne at Hull University, England;〔‘Eye-movement communication from lucid-dreams: a new technique and initial findings’ (Published proceedings) 11th postgraduate-postdoctoral Conference in the Behavioural Sciences, Hull University, April 15th - 18th, 1977.〕 however, media confusion over which scientist first published their results〔‘Eye-movement communication from lucid-dreams: a new technique and initial findings’ (Published proceedings) 11th postgraduate-postdoctoral Conference in the Behavioural Sciences, Hull University, April 15th - 18th, 1977.〕〔Laberge, S. (1980). Lucid dreaming: An exploratory study of consciousness during sleep. (PhD thesis, Stanford University, 1980), (University Microfilms No. 80-24, 691)〕 has caused the widespread but incorrect belief that LaBerge was the first to conduct this research.〔(Brief History of the Scientific Validation of Lucid Dreaming )〕 ==Research results== (詳細はPsychophysiology of Lucid Dreaming )〕 include: *comparison of subjective sense of time in dreams versus the waking state using eye signals *comparison of electrical activity in the brain when singing while awake, and while in a dream *various studies comparing physiological sexual arousal and in-dream sex, and most interestingly, orgasm. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephen LaBerge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
