Muse S (Gen 2) - EEG powered meditation & sleep support

👋 Hi all! It’s been a while since we launched the Muse 2 meditation headband on Product Hunt and a LOT has happened in the world at large since then. Like many others, working remotely for the past 18 months has been challenging for our team of neuroscientists, engineers, and creators, but today, we’re super excited to launch what we believe is revolutionary in the world of sleep innovation and technology. The next generation of our Muse S EEG-powered meditation and sleep headband not only gives you real-time biofeedback as you meditate and measures your brain’s activity while you sleep, but also includes a never-before-seen non-pharmaceutical sleep intervention that we are REALLY excited to share with the world: Digital Sleeping Pills. 💤 Beyond Sleep Tracking ----------------------------------- We know from our customers that while sleep tracking is helpful to understanding the quality of their sleep, it doesn’t provide immediate relief when they need to actually fall asleep. This is why we designed the research and technology behind Muse S (Gen 2) to go beyond sleep tracking and provide immediate sleep support with Digital Sleeping Pills. ✨💊 Digital Sleeping Pills Technology ----------------------------------------------- Digital Sleeping Pills are a new type of intelligent sleep experience that uses natural changes in your brain activity to modulate your sleep experience and cue your brain for sleep. If you wake in the night, that same technology is used to automatically guide you back to sleep again for your best rest. ✨💊 Are There Different Types of Digital Sleeping Pills? ---------------------------------------------- Yes. We wanted to offer a variety of different Digital Sleeping Pills so users could find the sleep experience that works best for them including: 💊 Original, Classic, and Adventure Sleep Stories 💊 Ambient Soundscapes 💊 Sleep Biofeedback Soundscapes 💊 Sleep Meditations 🚀 Muse S (Gen 2) Hardware Upgrades ---------------------------------------- 🚀 Faster Charging Time 🚀 Improved Battery Performance 🚀 Wider Size Range 🚀 Upgraded Signal Quality 👉🏻 Additional Details ---------------------- 👉🏻 Simply pair your Muse to your mobile device, launch the Muse app, and put on your favourite headphones to enjoy the immersive real-time dynamic audio soundscapes. 👉🏻 Compatible with most smartphones and tablets 👉🏻 Connects to the Muse app via Bluetooth to be used with a variety of Apple and Android devices 👉🏻 Muse app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store 🎁 Don’t forget to use code LAUNCH15 for 15% off Muse S (Gen 2) Bundles 🎁 Our goal at Muse is to help people live healthier, happier, more connected lives through human-centered technology. By providing an effective, EEG-powered non-pharmaceutical sleep intervention we aim to push our neurofeedback devices into a new realm that makes getting your best rest a tangible reality. We’re hungry for your feedback and thoughts! With gratitude, Chris Aimone, CTO & Co-founder

I can't wait to try Muse S... Has the team conducted any research on the effectiveness of Muse S and sleep quality improvements?

Chris, I am super interested in the evolution of the Muse (its been "on my mind" since I witnessed the demonstration from Tan Le at TED in 2009 or 10). Most specifically I would love to explore integrations with a vision I have for bringing the data realtime into VR for the specific purpose of Authentic Relating and Team Building, but the same application could also be used for Training and Therapy. I use binaural beats ALL THE TIME for meditation and focus and sleep. So, I would love to understand better how the Muse works.

Great to see a new generation Muse launch today! I’ve tested the Muse before but it never seemed like quite the right fit for me for the money. But as someone who has trouble both falling asleep and staying asleep, I’m really interest to try it.

I love the approach of a “digital sleeping pill”. I don’t like taking substances and often try to help myself sleep with sounds. Curious to try Muse!

I've had the 1st generation Muse for several years. It is an incredibly helpful device and corresponding app. I have practiced Transcendental Meditation (TM) for quite a long time as well. And when using the two in combination you can actually see evidence that your meditation is working. It's amazing. Because of the Muse I could make changes to what I was doing to see what actually affected my brain waves or not. I get a whole lot more out of TM because of it. If you regularly meditate or want to start, the Muse is a must-have device to get the most of your meditation. And no I don't have any affiliation with Muse at all, I just love it for how much it has helped me.

Great new product to help with getting to sleep and waking up in the middle of the night!

Very exciting to see and experience the newest generation of Muse! I've had my Muse 2 for some time now and had been looking to upgrade to the Muse S, so this has arrived just in time. Can't wait to get my hands on one!

Why microUSB and not USB-C?
