Neurofeedback and Biofeedback Experiences

The Muse app receives real-time data on your brain and body signals from sensors in your headband and translates them into peaceful weather sounds. During your biofeedback session, these gentle audio cues give you immediate feedback on your heart rate, breathing patterns, body movement, and brain activity.
 

Strength

Powered by fNIRS sensors*, Muse tracks your blood oxygenation to your prefrontal cortex while sustaining a high mental effort, to train your mental fitness.
Learn more about Strength.
 

Mind

A neurofeedback experience where Muse measures your brainwaves and gives you audio cues to let you know when your mind is active or calm. This helps you learn the skill of focused attention!
Learn more about Mind.
 

Heart

A biofeedback experience that adjusts real-time audio to let you know when your heart rate slows or increases. This trains you to be able to self-regulate in times of stress and find calm.
Learn more about Heart.
 

Body

As you listen to the Body biofeedback experience, the real-time audio cues will respond with your physical movement. This builds your awareness of your posture and when you're distracted so you can return to stillness.

Breath

Breath measures your ability to breathe in harmony with an audio guide. Learn how to pace your breath to either energize or relax your mind and body.

Sleep Experiences

Muse S* tracks your sleep stages, slow wave intensity, and positions, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of your sleep patterns.

With responsive real-time sleep experiences, Muse cues your brain to sleep and helps you fall back asleep if you wake up during the night. Afterward, you’ll receive personalized sleep reports, giving you the tools you need to build strong sleep habits for the rest of your life.

*Muse sleep experiences are compatible with all Muse S headbands, including Muse S Gen 1, Muse S Gen 2, and Muse S Athena.
 

Silent Sleep Tracking

Sometimes referred to as sleep tracking only, this is the default option with all other sleep experiences turned off. No audio will play, and there are no interventions. Muse will simply track your sleep until you wake and end the session.
Learn more about Silent Sleep Tracking.
 

Sleep Assist

Sleep Assist plays calming audio as Muse detects wakefulness, helping you fall asleep faster. Use the Go-back-to-sleep setting to automatically restart the audio if you wake during the night.
Learn more about Sleep Assist.
 

Deep Sleep Boost

Deep Sleep Boost uses whisper-quiet, EEG-timed audio cues to enhance natural deep-sleep cycles. When Muse detects deep sleep, soft pink-noise pulses are played in time with your brainwaves. If Muse detects the audio is disrupting your sleep (e.g., triggering arousals or unnatural patterns), it will automatically turn off the pulses so you rest uninterrupted.
Learn more about Deep Sleep Boost.
 

Sleep Sounds

Sleep sounds are non-responsive audio soundscapes, designed to settle your busy mind and help you fall asleep fast. Choose from:

• Journeys - narrated stories take you on a journey and settle you into a restful sleep

• Soundscapes -melodic soothing sounds composed to support calm, quiet rest.

• Guidances - instructor-led bedtime meditations that guide you out of the day and toward sleep

• Ambient - soundscapes composed to invite calm and peace while you sleep.
