Key Benefits
Athena - Carbon is the first and only device combining EEG and fNIRS technology, offering unprecedented insights into brain activity, cognitive effort, and sleep optimisation. Its SmartSense EEG accurately detects brainwave patterns, refining your focus and boosting mental clarity. Complementing this, fNIRS blood flow tracking measures cognitive endurance, allowing you to build mental stamina effectively.
Athena delivers real-time feedback on focus and endurance, enabling smarter, data-driven cognitive training. Overnight, it tracks sleep stages, including light, deep, and REM sleep, and uses Digital Sleeping Pills, responsive bedtime stories that gently cue your brain for deeper, restorative rest. The ultra-light, breathable design ensures comfort during day or night, while a powerful battery sustains up to 10 hours of continuous use.
With Athena, you can enhance focus, improve mental endurance, and optimise recovery, ensuring peak cognitive performance and better daily productivity.

Muse Athena uses both EEG and fNIRS technology to provide a complete view of brain activity, cognitive effort, and sleep patterns. Research-backed by a 2021 study with Western University, Cambridge Brain Science, Hatch, and Interaxon showed that 77% of users managed stress better, 78% felt more calm and relaxed, and 72% experienced improved focus, clarity, and emotional regulation. Sleep quality improved by 20% based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index compared to control groups. This research highlights the reliability and effectiveness of Athena in supporting real improvements in cognitive performance and wellbeing.

Each product is crafted with scientific precision, backed by extensive research and clinical testing. By using Muse, you can build healthier habits, manage stress better, and create a lasting positive impact on your mental clarity and emotional resilience.
