Episode Synopsis

In this episode of AI Ignited, host Elif Baser sits down with Ceylin Duru Akaydin to explore one of the most mysterious frontiers of science: AI and dreams. From fMRI scans that let machines re-create what we see, to AI-guided lucid dreaming experiments, they dive into how psychology, neuroscience, and technology are converging to decode the subconscious. Could a future device like “DreamScribe” record your nightly adventures? What does this mean for therapy and creativity? With insights from pioneering research at MIT, Harvard, and beyond, this episode unpacks both the promise and the ethical dilemmas of letting AI peer into our sleeping minds. Dreams may be fleeting — but with AI, they might soon be unforgettable.
