For those looking to enhance their meditation experience, Muse by Interaxon Inc., a leading consumer neurotech company and the creator of Muse: the brain sensing headband, recently released Muse 2. The revolutionary device acts as a personal meditation assistant that is designed to provide real-time feedback on brain activity, body movement, breathing patterns, and heart rate during meditation.

Muse 2 uses built-in biosignal, inertial and heart sensors to create real-time audio experiences in four key areas to help users find focused calm, improve posture, and increase breath and heart awareness. With the companion app, Muse 2 translates meditators’ internal states into immersive soundscapes to provide subtle guidance during meditation.

Key Highlights:

• Meditation Made Easy: Stop guessing if you’re doing it right. Use real-time feedback to guide you and keep you motivated during your meditation practice.

• Find Calm, Stay Focused: Research has shown that meditation helps people sleep better, stress less and focus more.

• Your Personal Meditation Assistant: Get real-time feedback to help you recognize calm

• Dig Deeper & Get Personal: Choose what works for you. Muse will track your mental activity, heart rate, breathing and body movements to guide your total meditation experience.

• Track & Measure Your Progress: Review your data, set goals and build a rewarding meditation practice.

“Muse has empowered people around the world to improve their understanding of their own brains, and access learning tools to improve their meditation practice,” says Chris Aimone, Muse Co-Founder and CTO. “We wanted to offer new and improved ways to shed more light into our internal worlds. With these new posture, heart and breath experiences, Muse 2 opens a wider path of entry into a mindfulness practice, and a robust foundation to support both novice and experienced meditators.”
