Muse by Interaxon, a neurotechnology startup, unveiled Muse S Athena, a consumer wearable that can deliver advanced cognitive fitness insights. It does so by combining two powerful brain sensors: Electroencephalogram (EEG) to track brain activity and Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), a technology that measures oxygen levels in the brain’s frontal cortex.

Athena transforms real-time brain activity into actionable insights, personalized training, and measurable progress, the company said. It’s powered by Muse’s AI-driven Foundational Brain Model (FBM), which is trained on over 80,000 sessions from the world’s largest EEG database.
