Brainwave-Sensing Headband

April 1st, 2014 by

Interaxon, Inc. is a Canadian company that built MUSE, a brainwave-sensing headband.   MUSE includes both hardware and software that converts brainwaves into digital signals that are fed to a computer in real time.  Also known as a BCI (Brain-Computer Interface), MUSE uses EEG (electroencephalographic) sensors to read and interpret electrical waves, and the software then converts the electrical waves into signals.  The system detects five individual bands of brainwaves and measures their changes.  The information can be transmitted to a tablet, smartphone, or PC using Bluetooth.  The headband uses a rechargeable battery with five hours of continuous use.
