Muse unveils wearable that combines brainwave tracking and brain oxygen measurements

Muse by Interaxon, a neurotechnology startup, unveiled Muse S Athena, a consumer wearable that can deliver advanced cognitive fitness insights. It does so by combining two powerful brain sensors: Electroencephalogram (EEG) to track brain activity and Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), a technology that measures oxygen levels in the brain’s frontal cortex. Athena transforms real-time brain activity into actionable insights, personalized training, and measurable progress, the company said. It’s powered by Muse’s AI-driven Foundational Brain Model (FBM), which is trained on over 80,000 sessions from the world’s largest EEG database. Expanding beyond sleep and meditation, Athena marks Toronto, Canada-based Muse’s transformation into a full-spectrum brain health brand, empowering users to strengthen their minds just as they do their bodies. By integrating dual-brain sensor neurofeedback with AI-powered analysis, Athena measures and trains mental strength, clarity and recovery ... Read full article.
