System And Method For Inducing Sleep By Transplanting Mental States
A method of replicating a mental state of a first subject in a second subject comprising: capturing a mental state of the first subject represented by brain activity patterns; and replicating the mental state of the first subject in the second subject by inducing the brain activity patterns in the second subject.

- 1. A method of inducing a sleep cycle in a subject, comprising modulating a waveform on at least one of a visual stimulus and an auditory stimulus for use in visual or auditory stimulation of the subject, to induce the sleep cycle in the subject, wherein the waveform is generated by recording neural correlates of at least one sleep cycle of a donor, processing the recorded neural correlates of the at least one sleep cycle to decode at least one of a temporal and a spatial pattern; and transforming the at least one of the temporal and the spatial pattern into the modulated waveform.
- 24. A method of inducing sleep in a mammal, comprising:
retrieving a stored modulation sequence for at least one of an audio signal and a visual signal derived from captured neural correlates of at least one sleep cycle, which is adapted, when used to stimulate the mammal, to induce at least one sleep cycle in the mammal; and presenting the at least one of the audio signal and the visual signal having the modulation sequence to the mammal, to induce the mammal to enter a respective sleep cycle.
- 25. A system for inducing sleep in a subject, comprising:
a memory configured to store a waveform, derived from neural correlates of at least one sleep stage, processed to derive at least one of a temporal and a spatial pattern transformed into the waveform for modulating at least one of a visual stimulus and an auditory stimulus; and at least one of a visual stimulator and an auditory stimulator, configured to retrieve the waveform and modulate the waveform on at least one of a visual stimulus and an auditory stimulus, for use in stimulating a subject to induce a sleep.
- 26. A computer readable medium, storing non-transitory instructions for controlling a programmable processor for presenting at least one of a visual stimulus and an auditory stimulus to a subject to induce sleep, comprising:
instructions to define a waveform pattern derived from neural correlates of at least one sleep stage, processed to derive at least one of a temporal and a spatial pattern transformed into the waveform; instructions to modulate the waveform on at least one of a visual stimulus and an auditory stimulus for presentation to the subject; and instructions for controlling the modulation of the waveform according to a sleep cycle.
