People who often order technology items will be familiar with InteraXon, the Canadian wearable-tech company that has built a reputation for its award-winning consumer-grade neurotechnology. Their Muse product line—a series of headbands equipped with sensors— offer neuro and biofeedback that respond to your physiological state and train your brain for mindfulness. Recently, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, InteraXon revealed Muse S, their newest offering that’s designed specifically for sleep. 

Unlike the original Muse and the Muse 2, Muse S is made of a soft, plush material, making it ideal for bedtime and for travel. In addition to meditations focused on the mind, heart, body, and breath, the Muse S also includes a series of Go-to-Sleep Journeys that are meant to move your wandering mind away from the busy thoughts that keep you awake and gently guide you into a restful slumber. Each Go-to-Sleep Journey has its own unique soundscape which is made up of individual sounds that are layered with your feedback sounds to create a personalized soundscape.

Other than the hardware and the form factor, the biggest difference for me between the original Muse and Muse S is that Muse S is made for going to sleep. The Go-to-Sleep Journeys are clearly designed to offer a unique experience that enables Muse to compete with popular apps like Headspace and Calm. 

Muse S retails for $349.99 US and is available in North America with a worldwide release coming soon.
