Muse S Athena is a clinical-grade brain-sensing headband made for professionals and consumers who want measurable cognitive improvement and better sleep. By combining high-resolution EEG with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), Athena quantifies brain activity and blood flow to reveal focus, effort, and recovery patterns in real time. Use it for guided brain training sessions to sharpen attention, monitor cognitive effort during demanding tasks, and track overnight sleep quality for data-driven recovery. The device is lightweight and comfortable for day or night wear, and its companion app turns raw signals into easy-to-action insights and personalized programs. Built for athletes, executives, students, and healthcare partners, The Athena Muse EEG headband helps the user to train focus, grow mental stamina, and restore brain health more effectively. Onboard sensors capture brainwaves, blood oxygenation, heart rate, movement, and breathing rhythms to provide a complete picture of cognitive state. With rechargeable battery life made to cover long workdays and extended sleep monitoring, Muse integrates into busy routines without friction. Premium bundles unlock structured courses, deeper analytics, and third-party sync to support both individual and enterprise deployment. In short, Muse S Athena turns neuroscience into practical performance tools so teams and individuals can measure, train, and recover smarter.
