Used the original Muse. Great product. Looking like v2 builds on a nice foundation. Excited to try it out.

hey @chris_aimone long time fan. Awesome to see this product. What do you see as the major opportunities for this and future products from the company?
@eisforinnovate Hey Eric! Thanks for the kind words - we're definitely excited about how this product launch opens new ways for users to explore and access a mindfulness practice.
I think this is the beginning of how we gain a deeper understanding of how people use real-time feedback to learn and become aware of their internal states. We're also looking forward to see what new health research we can explore from those opting into our research programs - a huge opportunity for new learnings!
@dicacao Thanks for the question and for being a Muse supporter! Muse 2 now has 3 additional experiences to the Mind experience. We’ve developed all new feedback experiences on heart rate, breath, and body movements.
Why We Made This:
Through our work at Muse, we’ve learned that offering real-time feedback on mental activity is an essential way of helping individuals shed light on their hidden inner world - a surreal experience that makes the intangible... tangible.
Muse 2 allows you to discover your mind-body connection in a completely unique way, through powerful real-time feedback on more than just mental activity. We’ve developed all new feedback experiences on heart rate, breath, and body movements. Feedback that will help guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself, and your practice.
As a research-grade EEG device, Muse was also developed for neuroscientists, researchers, and health professionals all over the world to help us learn more about the brain and how to improve brain health.
After dreaming up and creating a neurotech device that’s the first of it’s kind, we’re hungry for your feedback and thoughts!
With gratitude,
Chris Amoine, CTO & Co-founder

Mind Meditation: Muse 2 translates your mental activity (EEG) into the guiding sounds of weather to help you find calm and stay focused. Busy mind? You’ll hear stormy weather to remind you to place your attention on your breath. Calm mind? You’ll peaceful weather and birds chirping.
Heart Meditation: The Muse 2 heart meditation experience uses real-time feedback on the rhythm of your heartbeat to help you improve your ability to tune into your internal body cues to find calm and improve self regulation.
During your meditation you’ll be entered into an immersive soundscape where you’ll hear your heartbeat played back to you in real-time in the sound of a rhythmic, soothing drum. Your awareness and ability to synchronize your heartbeat can help you find stillness and calm.
Body Meditation: Muse 2’s motion sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope) capture any subtle movements of your head and core, to help you learn in real-time how much you're fidgeting and changing your posture.
As you sit in your favourite position, you’ll be guided with sound of gentle wind chimes as you adjust into a balanced position. Imagine sitting in the middle of giant a windchime and you are the pendulum in the center, swaying in the wind. As you adjust your posture or sway, the chimes will bring your attention to your movement shifts, building your awareness of your posture and movements.
Breath Meditation: Muse 2’s breathing feedback measures a combination of your heartbeat, body movements, and breathing rate to help guide you through a variety of breathing techniques and exercises.
Through a responsive sound environment you’ll learn to pace your breath with guiding tones similar to ambient music. As you follow the guiding sounds and match the breathing pattern, your body and heart beat will synchronize, and you’ll be rewarded with harmonized musical tones to affirm your progress and keep you on track.
@chris_aimone You say "Muse was also developed for neuroscientists, researchers, and health professionals" have you updated your devtools and will they work with the original muse? It's been a while since I tried so I can't remember the exact details but I bought the original muse to use for development and found that the devtools had been abandoned.
@shawnonthenet Muse love’s developers! Our core dev tool, Muse Direct, which has been updated for the new hardware, can record and stream raw data to any custom application, or to our cloud. We are always looking for ways to make our tools more engaging. In fact, we are thinking up a whole new strategy when it comes to our future dev engagement. Stay tuned!
@chris_aimone If you charge your devs a monthly fee to access your devtool then you don't love your developers you are trying to double dip on profiting off them.
@shawnonthenet I absolutely understand. We do have a subscription version of Muse Direct for iOS, however, Muse Direct is completely free for Windows 10. I would love to continue this discussion and discover what additional support you would be looking for from our dev community.
Im pumped for this I'm planning to get one for my pregnant wife and one to keep at the fire hall to help us all stay centered on a stressful shift
@johnny_bear_ss That's incredible! Let me know how your wife likes it and how it helps at work!
