Validate interpretability
Confirm that motion-field reconstructions remain readable against spectrogram and hypnogram baselines on partner protocols.
Dream Team · Research Division Document
Pilot Program
An 8–12 week engagement to validate interpretability and research utility.
01 // Program Overview
Goals, scope, and
mutual commitments.
A bounded academic pilot — clear research questions, shared ethics gates, and deliverables both parties can cite internally.
Scope research utility
Measure whether attractor and transition views change how labs discuss stage dynamics in co-interpretation sessions.
Lock claim boundaries
Keep all pilot language inside dynamics visualization — never dream-content decoding or clinical diagnosis.
Produce reusable artifacts
Leave the lab with configured viewers, reproducibility packages, and methods memos ready for internal review.
What labs provide
- De-identified, consent-gated sleep-state signals (EEG / HRV / respiration preferred)
- Staging labels or hypnogram context where available
- IRB status documentation and data-handling constraints
- 2–4 researcher hours per week for co-interpretation
What Dream Team provides
- Configured Dream Engine viewer for the partner protocol
- Feature → motion mapping adapters and modality gates
- Comparative analysis sessions against baseline views
- Methods memo, attractor case studies, and reproducibility configs
02 // Engagement Model
Proposal through
results.
Five gated phases keep ethics, data handling, and analysis sequential — no ingest before IRB alignment.
- 01
Proposal
Align on research questions, modalities, timeline (8–12 weeks), and deliverable expectations before any data leaves the lab.
- 02
IRB alignment
Confirm institutional review status, consent scope for secondary research use, and written data-handling terms.
- 03
Data staging
Ingest de-identified streams under shared governance; validate sampling metadata and modality coverage.
- 04
Analysis
Run comparative sessions: motion fields vs. spectrogram / hypnogram baselines with modality toggles.
- 05
Results
Deliver vector field reports, transition maps, attractor stability summaries, and a joint next-steps memo.
03 // Deliverables
Artifacts labs
retain.
Shared outputs are research instruments — reports and maps suitable for internal methods review, not marketing visuals.
Vector field reports
Per-epoch summaries of the 16×16 motion field — turbulence, directionality, and stage-linked structure for REM, N2, and N3 windows.
Transition maps
Stage-to-stage trajectory overlays showing how the field reorganizes across hypnogram boundaries and autonomic events.
Attractor stability summaries
Basin occupancy, dwell-time notes, and modality-ablation checks that document which attractors remain stable under gated inputs.
04 // Requirements
Preconditions for
responsible pilots.
We only proceed when consent, modalities, and IRB alignment are explicit. Full transfer specs live on the Data Requirements page.
Consent-gated data
Only de-identified datasets with documented consent for secondary research use. No raw identifiable recordings enter shared workspaces.
Signal modalities
Preferred: EEG (or EEG-like), HRV, respiration, and sleep-stage labels. Partial sets are welcome when staging context is available.
IRB alignment
Active or pending institutional review for human-subjects work. Dream Team aligns to partner IRB terms; we do not bypass local review.
05 // Contact
Propose a
pilot engagement.
Share lab focus, modalities, and IRB status. Same Interlace mailbox — pilot subject line so we route correctly.
