Imagine getting ready fr bed, brushing yur teeth, setting yur alarm and then putting a device n yur head that allws yu t cntrl yur dreams. It might sund like smething unfeasible, but it’s the real-life prmise f a new futuristic-lking headband called Hal, at present in develpment by US tech cmpany Prphetic.
Expected t be released in 2025, Hal aims t allw yu t have mre lucid dreams (清醒梦). In sme cases, yu might als exercise a degree f cntrl ver what happens in these dreams, perhaps in ways that benefit yur waking life, such as slving wrk prblems, practicing guitar and mre.
Earlier research has shwn lucid dreams culd be used fr real-life benefits. Fr example, ne study carried ut by researchers at the University f Bern, Switzerland shwed that participants wh practised casting cins int a cup in their lucid dreams shwed superir perfrmance the next day.
The team behind Hal are using technlgies like EEG (脑电图) t cllect vast amunts f brain data frm vlunteers experiencing lucid dreams. The idea is t build a detailed map f what’s happening in the brain during different types f lucid dreams. This infrmatin will be key fr the secnd main area f investigatin, which invlves using TUS (delivered via the headband) t cntrl brain activity. TUS, a nn-invasive brain stimulatin technique, can change brain functin by using high-frequency sund.
“It’s seemingly true that the sund stimulatin culd cntribute t the high-frequency brain activity that’s assciated with lucidity,” says Prfessr Mark Blagrve, a sleep scientist based at Swansea University. “Sund stimulatin has been used t cause lw-frequency slw waves in slw wave sleep, s the methd suggested is believable.”
Hwever, TUS is a relatively new apprach t brain stimulatin and it’s nt entirely clear what the lng-term results f stimulating yur brain with high-frequency sunds might be. Mrever, sme sleep scientists believe dreams have basic functins, including prcessing emtinal experiences. By using a device t change the nature f yur dreams, maybe yu risk interrupting the usual purpse f yur dreams.

C．T prve the benefits f lucid dreams.D．T indicate the meaning f being awake.
6．What is the furth paragraph mainly abut?
A．The way in which EEG wrks.B．The reasn fr designing Hal.
C．The changes brught by Hal.D．The methds used by the team.
7．What can we knw frm the last paragraph?

In the 1970s, a new supermarket selling LPs arrived in my hmetwn and I began devting my pcket mney t acquiring recrds. I swiftly develped an affectin fr Beethven’s Mnlight Snata, harbring dreams f perfrming that music myself. Despite the absence f a pian at hme, there was ne at my grandmther’s care hme, where I learned t play Beethven by ear, with pigens cing and farmers wrking in the fields. It was truly magical.
Entering the Ryal Academy f Arts at 16 marked the beginning f my artistic jurney. In my 30s, I tk anther significant step in life — marriage. My wife wrked at Elephants Wrld, a reserve dedicated t the care f rescued dmestic elephants. These elephants have wrked fr humans all their life and many are blind r disabled frm being treated badly, s I wanted t make the effrt t carry smething heavy myself. Fr my 50th birthday, my wife successfully persuaded the manager t allw us t bring a pian int the reserve, bringing music t the elephants’ lives.
Initially, when I started playing, it was hard t hear the pian abve the sunds f nature and the elephants chewing grass. Hwever, everything changed when a blind elephant ceased eating and tuned int my playing. It struck me that this elephant, trapped in a wrld f darkness, had a prfund lve fr music. Frm that mment n, there was n lnger any cncern abut disturbing their peace. We ccasinally film these perfrmances, and nw, we prudly have nearly 700,000 YuTube subscribers.
I cntinue t play fr these elephants that run freely in the reserve, despite the cnstant ptential danger. Surprisingly, it’s the mdy male elephants wh shw the mst fascinatin with the music. I firmly believe it has a calming effect. These elephants’ breathing actually slws dwn when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy. I’ve even witnessed elephants seemingly dancing t Beethven’s tunes. With their exceptinal hearing and the ability t sense vibratins (震动) thrugh their feet, I am cnvinced that elephants grasp the language f human expressin. This serves as a pwerful illustratin that music serves as a universal language, cnnecting us all.
