Muse S Athena

The Muse S Athena is Muse's flagship headband — combining EEG brain sensing with fNIRS optical sensors that measure blood-oxygen changes in the prefrontal cortex. It turns meditation, focus training and sleep into something you can actually see and improve, with a soft fabric band comfortable enough to wear overnight.

Key benefits

• EEG + fNIRS sensing — brain activity and prefrontal oxygenation in one device
• Real-time audio feedback during meditation: hear your mind settle
• Focus and cognitive training sessions with measurable progress
• Sleep tracking and responsive soundscapes designed for overnight wear
• Soft, washable fabric band; guided content in the Muse app

Who it's for

People building a meditation or focus practice who want feedback instead of guesswork. Anyone working on stress regulation, and light or restless sleepers wanting to understand their nights.

How to use

Pair with the Muse app, fit the band, and choose a session — meditation, focus training, or sleep. The headband's audio feedback responds to your brain state in real time; review your results after each session.

What does fNIRS add over regular EEG?
fNIRS measures blood-oxygen changes in the prefrontal cortex — a window into mental effort and focus that complements EEG's electrical activity.

Can I really sleep in it?
Yes — the S line's fabric band is designed for overnight wear, and sleep sessions include responsive soundscapes.

Do I need a subscription?
Core features work without one; a premium subscription unlocks the full guided content library.
