Muse, by InteraXon

Muse: the brain-sensing headband is a brain fitness tool that helps manage stress and settle the mind.

The headband is designed with 7 EEG sensors that detect and measure brain activity, like a heart monitor measures heart rate. Complete guided sessions as quick as three minutes, and receive real-time feedback of gentle sounds of water when the mind is calm, and wind when brain activity increases. Muse connects to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, and communicates through the Calm app. Feedback is then converted into data that can be tracked over time through the app.

Muse is compatible with iOS and Android. For developers, our SDK (Software Development Kit) is compatible with Mac and select PC operating systems. Muse uses a rechargeable battery for up to 5 hours of continuous battery life.

Muse was awarded with the 2014 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards in the Tech For A Better World category. Muse headbands are available in either black or white, and can be purchased for $299 on Amazon and www.choosemuse.com.
