Summary

  • Interaxon, in a partnership with Apple, has launched its third-generation brain-sensing headband, the Muse S Athena, which aims to bring advanced brain training into the home.
  • The device works by combining two powerful brain sensors, EEGS and Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, a technology that tracks oxygen levels in the brain.
  • It transforms brain activity that is picked up in real-time into “actionable insights, personalised training and measurable progress”, helping wearers to optimise focus, endurance and resilience.
  • The Athena can be used to help address cognitive decline and is available to buy online for $475.
