sleep data export FIXED
03/24/2022

DAM2022
The first few days the app was sending my sleep data to Apple Health. It stopped around the time 25.1 version of the app came out. It was also around the time 15.2 came out but i tried using another iPhone and iOS version but it still doesn’t transfer the data anymore. There is no other way to export meaningful data that i have been able to find. It is not possible to compare to other sleep data collected. The small charts that only reference by the hour are not really useful for the analysis I need. They high level report info is ok to check trends but not good enough to verify accuracy by associating with other data such as heart rate changes or arousals or awakenings. I would give 4 stars or more if the data the app collects would be provided for use to the user. The muse S gen 2 headband itself has been great. Will be trying other app options. Ipdate: I was contacted by Muse and it looks like they were able to recreate the issue so hopefully it will be working again soon. Thank you for the update Muse. Other than that the unit has been great and the gen2 hasn’t given me any issues getting it connected. Update 2: Data import into Apple health is working again with the 25.2 update and the headband is still working great. I use it everyday. The data is amazing to be able to identify what is impacting deep and rem sleep.

Thinking about it? Buy it! If you’re ready, you won’t regret it!

This device is certainly having an impact on my overall wellness in the short time I’ve had it. I’ve been on a path of clarity in recent months and had been strengthening my meditation practice on my own. I heard about this months ago and knew it would aid in bringing me the peace that’s eluded me most of my life. I kept thinking I wanted to buy it for the people in my life that weren’t connecting as deeply to their own practice (to justify the expense). By happenstance I was granted a bonus at work that allowed me to treat myself and when I saw it was on sale for the holiday season I bought 2!! One for me and one for the partner I’ll be starting a podcast with in the next few weeks called “psst Your Crazy Is Showing” where we dig through the things mediation has made clear in our lives and speak from a deep present moment awareness (or as deep as we can get at our novice level at this point). I’m almost 2 weeks in and feel that the time I spend with Muse has almost tripled the benefits I was getting on my own (a 5 minute session feels like 20, and 20 minutes feels like an hour! ... in the best calming way imaginable). Rest and digest and may peace be with all who find this and the Muse Headband. Thanks for reading :)

MUSE IS HELPFUL BE AWARE OF PROBLEMS

Overall I would rate Muse as an excellent electronic device for meditation. I cannot see bees out with my friends who have for years meditated see the difference between that and using this device to help you get to where you need to be. What I do notice however is that the device sometimes has problems connecting with your phone. It is important to make sure that there are no oil‘s dust or residuals on the headband and to make sure that the area where the skin contact device is clean. And it is important to make sure that your phone is on your right side while using. For some reason I find it more difficult to use a device in enclosed spaces like inside a motor vehicle as opposed to an open space in the room. The extra money for the optional meditations is worth it. In that optional package you get extra meditations that are specific to certain situations and so far for me is proving all to be valuable resources. So overall I do recommend the device itself I also recommend the optional meditations that go along with that package.

Overall the muse is one of the higher quality eeg measurement devices available at a consumer price. It does lack a larger portion of the brain in terms of coverage, but still proves effective at providing enough quantifiable data for isolating a range of mental events. I wish it included more of the parietal regions and had coverage of the visual cortex, but beggars can’t be choosers. That being said, here’s an honest review of the muse application after review via muse 2 and S headsets. If you are interested in guided meditations with feedback, this is the best on the market. If you are interested in sleep feedback, also pretty good. One qualm I have with this app is it’s not considering that any consumer of bci devices would be interested in precision data. I’m not able to export my sleep tracking data at all and even if I wanted to transcribe my data from the provided graphs, the measurements are low precision providing sleep phases by the hour. Who would be collecting data with no intention of using it? If I could export my meditation and sleep data to csv or some other useful format, I would give this app a 5. I’m able to access the raw eeg data through available Python libraries, but why should anyone need to reinvent sleep phase algorithms when you already have them? Guess we have no choice at the present moment.
