Muse 2 Headband

The headband uses EEG (electroencephalography) sensors to monitor your brain's electrical activity and fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy) sensors to measure changes in blood oxygenation. Together, these sensors provide real-time feedback on your mental state, helping you understand when your mind is calm or active during meditation.

Yes, the Muse 2 is specifically designed to record and analyze your sleep patterns. By wearing it to bed, you can track your sleep stages and receive insights that help you understand your sleep quality and improve your rest over time.

The Muse 2 is designed to be lightweight and adjustable, making it suitable for meditation sessions or wearing while falling asleep. However, comfort is subjective, so it is best to ensure the fit is snug but not tight to maintain sensor contact without causing pressure.

Yes, the Muse 2 connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth to process and display your data in real-time. You will need your phone or tablet nearby to run the companion app, which provides the guided sessions and visual feedback.

The battery life depends on your usage frequency, but for most users, a single charge lasts for several meditation or sleep sessions. It is rechargeable, so you can easily top it up using the included cable when the app indicates the battery is low.

While the device provides core brain-sensing feedback out of the box, some advanced content, guided meditations, and in-depth historical data analysis may require a premium subscription within the Muse app. Check the app store details for the most current subscription model.
