1. Muse motivates you to change your brain
Muse is the first tool in the world that can give you accurate, real-time feedback on what’s happening in your brain while you meditate.
It provides motivational challenges and rewards to encourage you to build a regular practice.
2. Muse improves how you respond to stress
In the short-term, meditation has been shown to trigger the natural relaxation response – a state of deep rest that changes the physiological and emotional responses to stress.
Your metabolism decreases and your heartbeat slows. The muscles relax, breathing becomes slower, and your blood pressure decreases.
3. Extended use can have amazing and lasting results
Meditation has been scientifically shown to reduce symptoms associated with stress, depression and anxiety.
Research has documented other benefits, like increased grey matter density, reduced thinning of the prefrontal cortex, decreasing amygdala activity (associated with stress response), and increased resilience – basically, an overall beneficial change of the brain’s structure and function.
4. Muse is designed to help you form the habit
Research has shown using an app and starting with 3-5 minutes can dramatically help you build a meditation practice.
Muse starts you with 3 minute sessions and rewards you for your achievements, making sure it’s easy and motivating to train with Muse.
5. Safe, Trusted, Certified
Muse: the brain sensing headband is a brain fitness tool that measures brain signals much like a heart rate monitor senses your heartbeat.
Muse’s 7 finely calibrated sensors – 2 on the forehead, 2 behind the ears plus 3 reference sensors – detect and measure the activity of your brain.
Muse has been tested and certified in accordance with Canadian, USA and European regulatory standards.
The measurements Muse takes are harmless to people and only provide information about your general state. Brain sensing has been used in hospitals and research institutions for over a century to study various aspects of the brain’s function.
Muse is used in hospitals, clinics, and universities worldwide as a research tool. The research domains extend from cognitive neuroscience, to brain health, psychotherapy, music cognition, and more. Institutions currently using Muse in research include Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Mayo Clinic, NYU, McMaster University, University of Toronto, University College London, and many others.
6. Muse Sensors and Fit
Muse is beautiful, comfortable and easy to fit while providing a strong reading for your brainwaves for accurate feedback.
When you pair Muse with the app, you are taken through a brief tutorial to ensure best fit.
