Muse

Muse is a neurotechnology company that produces EEG-enabled headbands designed to help users train their brain, improve mental fitness, and optimize sleep. The primary product line includes Muse 2 and Muse S Athena, both of which use electroencephalography (EEG) sensors to monitor brain activity in real time. These devices are intended for individuals seeking to enhance focus, build emotional resilience, and develop consistent meditation habits through biofeedback. The Muse 2 headband measures brain signals, heart rate, body movement, and breathing patterns. It provides audio guidance during meditation sessions, translating brainwave states into sounds—such as calm winds representing a focused mind or stormy weather indicating distraction. This real-time feedback allows users to recognize when their mind wanders and gently bring attention back. The device pairs with a mobile app that offers over 500 guided meditations and programs, ranging from beginner to advanced levels, covering topics like stress reduction, concentration, sleep preparation, and cognitive endurance. Muse S Athena is a newer model that adds a sleep-tracking feature. It monitors sleep stages throughout the night and uses a “Smart Wakeup” function to gently wake users during light sleep, reducing morning grogginess. It also includes a “Brain Recovery” mode that plays specific audio tones during deep sleep to potentially enhance the restorative effects of rest. Additionally, the Athena model supports “ENSO: AI Coach,” an artificial intelligence feature that analyzes a user’s meditation and sleep data over time, providing personalized recommendations for improving mental performance and sleep quality. The app also includes a “Cognitive Performance” module that measures attention span, mental stamina, and
