In this paper, we give an overview of our current work on introducing context as first-class objects in Lucid. The use of contexts as first class values increases the expressive power of Lucx (Lucid enriched with context). It allows us to use the paradigm for agent communication, for real-time reactive programming and for constraint programming. We include a discussion on context calculus, repr...

This article investigates the intensional programming paradigm for agent communication by introducing context as a first class object in the intensional programming language Lucid. For the language thus extended, a calculus of contexts and a logic of contexts are provided. The paper gives definitions, syntax, and operators for context, and introduces an operational semantics for evaluating expr...

In this work we summarize biometric evidence as well as file type evidence extraction “exported” as formal Forensic Lucid language expression in the form of higher-order intensional contexts for further case analysis by a system that interprets Forensic Lucid expressions for claim verification and event reconstruction. The digital evidence is exported from the Modular Audio Recognition Framewor...

SUMMARY The occurrence of lucid dreaming (dreaming while being conscious that one is dreaming) has been verified for 5 selected subjects who signaled that they knew they were dreaming while continuing to dream during unequivocal REM sleep. The signals consisted of particular dream actions having observable concomitants and were performed in accordance with pre-sleep agreement. The ability of pr...

Search activity (SA) is the behavioral and mental activity that is oriented to changes of the environment or of the subject's view and approach to the environment according to personal needs without the definite probability forecast of the outcomes of such activity, but with a regular consideration of the outcomes in the process of active behavior. Dream's lucidity (the subject's realization th...

Recent studies suggest that lucid dreaming (awareness of dreaming while dreaming) might be associated with increased brain activity over frontal regions during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. By applying transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), we aimed to manipulate the activation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during REM sleep to induce lucid dreaming. Nineteen participa...

Lucid dreaming and transpersonal studies are two vigorous and important fields with overlapping interests and much to contribute to one another. Unfortunately, they have remained largely isolated and ignorant of each other, in spite of the fact that lucid dreaming research has significant transpersonal implications. Researchers are now investigating advanced forms of lucidity, finding technolog...
