Sleep trackers just got obsolete. Muse’s new S Athena headband doesn’t just count sheep – it decodes your brainwaves using EEG, tracks blood flow with fNIRS, and even detects sleep apnea, all while coaching you toward peak mental performance.
This isn’t your grandma’s meditation gadget:
–AI-powered brain mapping trained on 80,000+ EEG sessions
– Advanced sleep staging (light/deep/REM tracking)
– Blood oxygen + heart rate monitoring via PPG tech
– Real-time biofeedback during 500+ guided meditations
“But does it actually work?” Early tests show the Athena’s Foundational Brain Model AI can:
– Pinpoint stress patterns with scary accuracy
– Boost focus through neurofeedback training
– Flag potential sleep disorders before your doctor would
The catch? That 475pricetag 12.99/month premium tier for full meditation libraries. But for anxiety warriors and biohackers, this might be the ultimate mental fitness wearable.
Pro tip: The companion app’s “mind mirror” feature shows your brain activity in real-time. Nothing motivates mindfulness like watching your thoughts light up a screen.
