A note from our founders.
We built Muse to bring neuroscience out of the lab and into your life.
We saw how many people were overwhelmed, burnt out, and unsure how to feel better. You can’t fix what you can’t see. So we set out to change that.
The tools to measure brain activity already existed, but they were locked in labs and out of reach for everyday use. In 2014, Muse launched as a brain-sensing headband that made meditation easier by offering real-time feedback on your mental state, turning clinical-grade EEG technology into something simple, wearable, and accessible at home.
Today, Muse is a full brain health platform that helps improve sleep, manage stress, and support cognitive performance through science you can see and feel.
We believe everyone deserves tools to support their brain health and well-being. As we continue to innovate, our commitment remains the same: to empower you to take charge of your mind with confidence and clarity.

Research
Supporting long COVID recovery
In a 180-day study, Muse S users saw significant improvements in brain fog, sleep quality, stress, anxiety, and overall quality of life
Managing stress during breast cancer treatment
A Mayo Clinic study found that women using Muse experienced reduced stress, improved quality of life, and decreased fatigue within 3 months of diagnosis—93% said they'd do it again.
Reducing burnout in healthcare professionals
A Mayo Clinic study found that Muse S reduced stress by 54% and significantly improved resilience, cognition, and quality of life in frontline healthcare workers over 26 weeks. 92% felt more relaxed, and 73% planned to continue using Muse after the study.
Rewiring the OCD response
In an 8-week study, people with OCD who used Muse showed measurable brainwave changes, improved focus, and reduced symptoms.
