Muse: Brain Health & Sleep

Doesn’t support sleep data export. Sleep analysis is poor. Sleep graphs are primitive. No functionality. The app does not rotate.

Çok güzel bir ürün ve uygulama. Meditasyon yapmaya üşenenlere iyi bir motivasyon sağlıyor. Tavsiye ediyorum

I am pleased to recommend Muse as a great personal meditation guide

This device is great! After musing about 500 hours over the course of two years, I strongly believe this technology has potential benefit for many people. I strongly feel that muse meditation helped me cultivate a relaxed and focused baseline. muse meditation is so effective that it basically replaced regular alcohol consumption within my life, but that is a personal anecdote- YMMV. Don’t place too much expectation on the technology or on your meditation practice. Strong benefits from a conventional practice will come over a very long period of time, 100-200 hours. If you want to go into the deep end of a practice, woodshed it and start doing 1-3 hour sits. Muse is an awesome gateway into meditating, but it’s also important to meditate without the app. Look into traditional styles of focused attention meditation, then pair them with the feedback. When using muse, always take time to wet the sensors + make good contact. I feel that Muse app is really good for developing relaxed concentration - Samatha or “meditative absorption”. This is an excellent skill to acquire because it will help you maintain a calm and positive attitude in all things. Some people gawk seeing meditation removed from a spiritual context, or seeing technology encroach into traditional practice. Others despise the idea of any practice part of religion or spirituality. I think meditation offers intense benefit to anyone who deeply engages with it. I think muse is an excellent gateway into meditation and a great tool to sharpen concentration as a specific faculty. I definitely wouldn’t have gotten so deep into practice without this device. If you want to form your own opinion on this tool, I recommend going deep and meditating a few hours with it :) Two requests for developers: #1). Can we export our brainwaves after the session? Being able to see them is awesome, but getting a CSV file would SLAP #2). Can we hack together a way to see progress between sessions? Since the app is recording brainwave data across months, I’d love to see an overall progress indicator. Even just a simple metric, like longest concentration streak recorded, or increase in alpha amplitude since starting with the app.

I purchased the Muse S (Gen 2) on 4/1. I have to say it’s been disappointing. The connection to the app and phone is unreliable and I’ve notice it is flat out making up data. How can I be so sure? Because twice now I’ve taken the headband with the device off and set it aside and it’s still displaying data it supposedly read from at least an hour after it’s been removed and untouched. I’m not sure how it could be reading my brain waves and sleep position when it’s feet away and the sensors aren’t even pointing at me.

Great tool for gathering sleep data but would be much better if it would just keep recording on the sleep programs rather than stop and ask if you want to ignore if the connection isn't perfect, since I won't know I need to address something while I'm asleep.

From setup to my first meditation it was very easy to use. Went from opening the app to completing my first meditation in under ten minutes. Love the feedback and the graphing of data. My only desire would be for a choice of the instructors gender for voiceover.

i got the muse 2 for christmas and it’s been really helpful in my practices. one suggestion though is that you guys should add a dark mode! it’d be helpful for those who like to meditate right for before bed or to go to sleep, and they won’t have to strain right before bed! (i say they but i want it hehe)

Keeps getting stuck on the “send a referral!” page. Impossible to actually start a meditation. Very frustrating.

Keep up the great work on ease of use I do wish they would shut the ringer off when your using it for sleep tracking. If you use it for sleep, tracking you turned it on or exterior and at set up.
