The Muse headband is light and easy to use, in addition to having a simple yet elegant look. The headband is to be connected through Bluetooth to the Muse Meditation app and placed around the forehead. The user can choose whether or not to use headphones, according to their personal needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the best effect, the \u201cdo not disturb\u201d mode is recommended to be turned on, as a way to prevent interrupting your meditation session by a notification or a phone call. Once activated, the headband will translate the measured brain waves into audio feedback in the form of weather sounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the user is having trouble concentrating, the app will introduce the sounds of stormy weather. The user will be asked to try and calm the sounds and turn them into the sounds of peaceful weather by trying to calm his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the user manages to reduce the theta activity and increase the alpha activity in the brain, he\/she is introduced to a reward. Through neurofeedback, the Muse meditation headband helps guide the user through an effective and calming meditation session, thus introducing high-quality mindfulness training.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/span>The Muse App<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    One of the great parts of this meditation device is the well designed and thought out app. The gamification of meditation really helps to keep coming back each day to ensure you’re earning points and milestones – as childish as that may sound, it helped me achieve a 21-day meditation streak!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The main ‘Me’ tab will showcase your current streak, total minutes spent meditating and other highlights such as ‘birds’ which you’ll grow to love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Having completed a session with the Muse meditation headband you’re able to view how that session went. The main graph is split into three sections, ‘Active’, ‘Neutral’, and ‘Calm’. The goal is to improve the amount of time spent in the ‘Calm’ section which is the prime meditation zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The great part is that you can think back to what thoughts might have caused high-levels of activity during your meditation session. Here’s an example of a previous session I completed, and there is a clear spike in activity as I started thinking about work and how much there is outstanding on my project. Luckily I was able to bring it back to a calm state towards the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
