402: Unlocking The Science Of Brain Training: Muse Founder, Ariel Garten On The Future of Cognitive Fitness

In this episode of Marni On The Move, I’m joined by Ariel Garten, neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and founder of Muse—the pioneering brain-sensing headband that transformed meditation for millions. Ariel shares the groundbreaking technology behind Muse S Athena, the first consumer wearable to combine EEG and fNIRS, offering real-time insights into brain activity and oxygen levels in the frontal cortex. We explore how this innovation goes beyond meditation and sleep to deliver personalized cognitive training for focus, performance, and long-term brain health. Ariel also discusses the future of neurotechnology, the science-backed benefits of brain training, and how Muse is making cognitive fitness as essential as physical exercise.
