How it works

Headset on. Data on screen.

Three steps from Bluetooth pair to a live analysis.

01

Muse S found over Bluetooth, ready to connect

Connect Muse

Pair Muse S Athena directly over Bluetooth. Muse 2 and Muse S are in compatibility rollout.

02

Live band power over time from Muse

Watch it live

256 Hz bands on the live view while the headset is on.

03

Spectrogram and band stream analysis

Analyse data

Band power and spectrogram, then CSV or EDF. LSL and OSC are coming next in Lab.

On the wire

The Muse stream, on a desk.

The signal map — from sample timing to desktop output — in one view.

CSV · EDF · LSL · OSC

EEG, CSV, and EDF are available in the current Athena release. Muse 2/S PPG and motion remain part of the compatibility and export rollout. LSL and OSC are coming next in Lab. 1 ms refers to timestamp precision, not sensor rate.

Research

Millisecond timestamps for neuroscience, psychology, and HCI papers.

Build

CSV into Python today. LSL and OSC integrations are coming next in Lab.

Teach

Live brain data in the room — not a slide of someone else’s plot.

Compare

The meditation app. The phone raw-data app. The Windows LSL bridge. Then a desk.

MindVault does not replace Muse meditation or Mind Monitor on a phone. It puts the hoop on a desk — no BlueMuse, no dongle. CSV and EDF are in the current Athena release; LSL and OSC are coming next in Lab.

Plans

Thirty minutes on the desk. Then pick a plan.

Connect Muse and watch the live view. Analysis, live-out, and filters sit on a plan.

Free

30 min

Put the hoop on. See if the stream is real.

  • 30 minutes live
  • Contact quality
  • Bands on the live view

Base

$19/mo

Keep the session. Analyse it after.

  • Unlimited live
  • Local recording
  • CSV and EDF export

Lab, recommended

$49/mo

Next, pipe the stream into the experiment and mark events as they happen.

  • Everything in Base
  • LSL and OSC
  • HTTP API
  • Event markers

Research

$99/mo

On the research roadmap, the session is Lab; the output is a file you can defend.

  • Everything in the Lab rollout
  • Adjustable notch and bandpass
  • Raw and filtered export
  • Filter recipe in the file

Built for researchers and practitioners.
