![]() THIS EULA IS A BINDING LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN INTERAXON INC. You can also write a journal entry in the session summary to reflect how you thought the meditation went, allowing you to see how you’ve improved in terms of your feelings.PLEASE REVIEW THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (“ EULA”) CAREFULLY. Muse will show you how your brain, heart, breath, and body did from moment to moment through simple, easy to understand data, giving you a score on how well you did and how you’re improving over time. ![]() This focusing and gamification are essentially what teaches you to meditate better with each session.Īfter each session, you’ll see how you did through a series of graphs and charts in the Muse meditation app. If the mind wanders and your focus shifts, Muse will detect this and the weather sounds played back to you will get more intense, with heavier rain and even storms if you’re particularly stressed. I loved how this helped me to interpret fairly quickly my goal: to remain calm and keep the weather in this environment. This will change as it studies the brain signals and translates them into rain or calm weather with tweeting birds if you're especially calm. Weather sounds are played back via connected headphones which reflect what's happening in your brain in real time. The results of your meditation are very detailed Lee Bell This might sound weird, but the way it guides you through your meditation is with signals that replicate the weather. The Body meditation option teaches you to remain as still as possible by using the accelerometer and gyroscope sensors, the Heart meditation option uses the optical heart sensor to help you lower your heart rate, and the Breathing option employs the three previously-mentioned sensors to guide you through breathing exercises. The Mind meditation option uses the Muse 2’s seven calibrated sensors to detect and measure the activity of your brain. To start meditating, you have to choose for how long via the app and what type of meditation you’d like to track, be it mind, breath, heart or body - each of which uses the Muse 2’s different sensors. I should also note that it can take up to a minute for sensors to make sure contact is correct, and the annoying thing is you have to calibrate this every time you want to meditate When you see all five sections filled in, you know Muse is sensing your brain correctly and you’re ready to start meditating. When a section is filled in and color is flowing, you know that the sensor it corresponds to has good contact with your skin and is getting a good signal. The Muse 2 app is super easy to use Lee BellĪs you can see from the app screen grab, the black section corresponds to three sensors on the center of the headband, and if they lose contact with the skin on your forehead, your headband will need to be adjusted for a better fit.Įach of the four colored sections corresponds to one of the brain signal sensors. The more color you see, the better your signal quality. As the sections of the headband status indicator fill in, color will start to flow. The better you fit the headband, the better signal you’ll get, and the more accurate and responsive Muse will be - leading to a better meditation session. This headband status indicator basically gives you an easy way to understand if Muse is sensing your brain properly. You have to download and install the Muse app and connect the device to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth.īefore your first session, a circle is displayed on the app that shows you if you’re wearing your headband correctly. ![]() Setting-up the Muse 2 is surprisingly straight forward. Then there are two body sensors also: a gyroscope and accelerometer found behind the ears.įinally, there’s an adjustable arm design so it can fit even the biggest of heads, and then a micro-USB slot for charging. There’s a pulse oximetry breath sensor now as well which is located together with the heart sensor on the front, right-hand side of the band. This uses a light-based technology to sense the rate of blood flow as controlled by the heart's pumping action. If you are a fan of the original Muse, you should know that since the last version, the Muse 2 has been fitted with a PPG (photoplethysmography) sensor to the forehead band. The Muse 2 doesn’t come with a protective carry case - you have to buy this separately - and I think this would probably be wise considering its £240 price tag. In terms of construction, the Muse 2 does worry me somewhat as the forehead band which holds the sensors does look quite delicate. The Muse 2 device is lightweight but fragile Lee Bell ![]()
