Assessing the Effects of the Muse Meditation System on Cognition and Well-being

Interaxon markets a head-worn EEG biofeedback device ('Muse') to encourage and aid effective meditation and sleep. This device has been previously shown to improve workplace wellness, fatigue and quality of life, and performance on the Stroop Task. It has also been shown to improve physiological markers associated with improved relaxation. Muse has been shown to have an EEG signal comparable to a clinical grade EEG.

Participants will be asked to use the Muse Meditation system for a minimum of 5 minutes a day (in one or multiple sessions), a minimum of 5 days a week, for 6 weeks and will be coached in how to do so. Coaches will be versed in Mindfulness and how to use Muse. Coaching will take place virtually using Interaxon's Zoom account.
