Toronto-based company InteraXon has been making waves this week down at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas – brainwaves, that is.
The company released its first consumer product the Muse Brain Health System, a brainwave-enabled headband and application system that simultaneously strengthens the cognitive and emotional parts of your brain through mental exercise. The headband measures brain activity during customized training exercises, allowing the user to gage how well their brain is performing and ultimately enhance their brain health.
“With over 70 percent of all doctor and hospital visits being due to stress-related illnesses we wanted to design a brain health system that helped both the cognitive and emotional,” Ariel Garten, Founder and CEO at InteraXon, says in the article. “So many brain trainers focus on the cognitive aspects of the mind, but the emotional side is just as crucial. There needs to be a balance for you to have a healthy mind. We’re very excited to showcase our technology at CES.”
The headset will be available for purchase later this year and will retail at $199.
