How it works
Three steps from Bluetooth pair to a live analysis.
01

Pair Muse S Athena directly over Bluetooth. Muse 2 and Muse S are in compatibility rollout.
02

256 Hz bands on the live view while the headset is on.
03

Band power and spectrogram, then CSV or EDF. LSL and OSC are coming next in Lab.
On the wire
The signal map — from sample timing to desktop output — in one view.
Electrode placement
LiveEEG, 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.
Millisecond timestamps for neuroscience, psychology, and HCI papers.
CSV into Python today. LSL and OSC integrations are coming next in Lab.
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.
Integrations
CSV into Python today. LSL and OSC integrations are coming next in Lab.
Plans
Connect Muse and watch the live view. Analysis, live-out, and filters sit on a plan.
Put the hoop on. See if the stream is real.
Keep the session. Analyse it after.
Next, pipe the stream into the experiment and mark events as they happen.
On the research roadmap, the session is Lab; the output is a file you can defend.
Built for researchers and practitioners.
FAQ
Current Athena workflow first. More joins the same session with Lab.
