Episode #108 Real-time Biofeedback to Help You Meditate, Focus, Recover, & Sleep
My guest this week is Ariel Garten, Co-Founder and CEO of Muse.
In this episode, Ariel and I discuss the new version of Muse. It is wearable technology using a brain-sensing headband that provides real-time biofeedback to help you meditate, focus, recover, and sleep. Muse is what you get when you mix meditation with neuroscience. Struggle with meditation? Have a monkey mind? Always think you are doing meditation wrong? Muse can literally hear when your mind is wondering or focused and helps you get back or stay on track.
Losing focus during the middle of your workday? A quick session with muse can reset your focus by bringing your body and mind back into a flow state.
Are you unable to fall asleep, stay asleep or insomnia keeping you awake all night? Muse is your “digital sleeping pill”, where it is able to sense when you are starting to come out of sleep and gently guides you back. It has the same sleep quality technology used in sleep labs, so it’s no wonder why labs are using Muse to track and support their sleep patients.
