Even though this video is 5 years old, it is still very useful. I got a Muse S a month ago and I am very happy with it.

[@CodyRallMD]

Thanks. In need of an update for sure

[@jalaprabhu314]

Thank you for wonderful presentation.....

[@kevinpowell4658]

Very great video; this video explained very detail about Muse. Thank you Cody; I appreciate you for this!

[@CodyRallMD]

Thanks! Lots more vids like this one coming soon. Let me know if you have any specific areas of interest you would like me to look into.

[@splatzec]

This should have more conversation.. the technology presented here is more powerful than most realize. The data represented here has the capability to map frequency levels to digital controls... One day.

[@CodyRallMD]

Agreed! Thanks for the comment

[@palzip41]

Great videos. Great info. I'm a fan. Thanks

[@sues3177]

absolutely super awesome mate. Thank you!

[@CodyRallMD]

Thanks Sue!

[@Drstephenstokes]

Nice video, I am considering buying some of these for my clinic, thanks.

[@CodyRallMD]

Awesome. Good to see that some more clinicians are getting into using these devices. Be sure to check out my interview with Michael Decaire for more clinical strategy.

[@EVP-Voices]

Great video thanks, got mine yesterday and am very impressed with it!

[@CodyRallMD]

Great! Happy meditating!

[@meihsieh4440]

Can you please give me a link where to order ? Thanks. Ps: do I need both Muse and Brain Tap?

[@jasonshields9501]

Awesome review Cody...I am ordering one from Amazon this afternoon. I think this will be a great help to some of my patients in addiction recovery.

[@CodyRallMD]

Thanks man! I am going to be putting a lot more videos like this one out soon. Let me know if you have any further suggestions

[@Rabbitthat]

2 years later, what was it like using this in a clinical setting?

[@guadalupemarincastro2167]

Very interesting. Thank you.

[@33859seveerr]

Well done Cody. Don't know if this is the unit I will purchase because am still looking at others. But definitely have a point of reference.

[@CodyRallMD]

Thanks! Yes, lots of new products coming out. I have been quite impressed with the attention Interaxon has given towards the software development kit for the Muse

[@azuloralpita5709]

Why doesn't this channel have a million subs (subscribed!) Thanks for the information by the way!

[@CodyRallMD]

Thanks obed vinals, glad you enjoyed the videos

[@jsfbr]

Great presentation. Thanks.

[@CodyRallMD]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RafaelbySuzannah]

Thank you

[@eve4492]

Thank you. Trying to decide if I should get a muse. Will it work if I've lost 75% of hearing in one ear? (no bone induction hearing either).

[@FrenchSaladMac]

Hey is it better to get the muse 1 or 2. And what about the neurosky mindwave 2? Which is better in your opinion

[@99dynasty]

Cody, do any of these EEG products have SWS enhancing features. I presume you're aware of the relatively recent research involving the precise timing of " click " sounds at the peak of the delta wave which then causes an amplification of that wave. Because a bigger wave is a better wave when it comes to Delta waves during SWS:)

[@dirkjanssens754]

Thanks

[@graspinginfinity7655]

how can i get the raw EEG data from bluetooth to my computer? with out using 3rd party apps

[@hanleyshellie5]

Hi Cody great Videos Thank You for the great Tutorial what APP can I use with my own Music? I create & Compose Music and would like to utilise the MUSE 2 to analyse my Brainwaves with my own music 😇

[@vtlbz]

+1

[@have_faith_]

Cody have you ever used Muse 2 with Opti Brain or Opti Train?

[@muhammadabdulmalik3010]

Is this display beta, alfa, theta state on phona app?

[@bornbranded29]

Hi, Cody. I just subscribed. I am wondering if this headset would be helpful for my ADHD. I have done lots of other work: CBT, amino acid therapy, stimulants, etc. The CBT and amino acids have helped a great deal. I am now wondering about affordable neurofeedback options to help with focus and improving "healthy" brain activity, as opposed to racing thoughts or a sense of slow, or no, thoughts, that I experience from time to time. Would something like this help? I am also researching dopamine receptor deficiencies in ADHD. As a psychiatrist, any insights on that matter? Thanks.

[@CodyRallMD]

Yes there have been several researchers reporting good effects with this headset with ADHD. It teaches the mind how to redirect your attention to the breath, which is translatable to other situations in which your ADHD may distract you. **Disclaimer- the large size clinical data is not yet in, but Muse is working with several research institutions to show improvement with ADHD. Most findings have been anecdotal case reports, however have been quite compelling so far.

[@selfgrowthvideos]

Just got one of the original units. There is nothing that works as far as programs. Do I need the membership to use this? Also, the thing doesn't have headphones that connect to Android. Am I doing something wrong here?

[@AliMohebali.]

How I can use the biofeedback to calm my mind ? I always get active mind for the most duration of the meditation. So the sounds of storm and birds are just for me when I'm doing good or bad but , are you suggesting that I can use it to calm my mind or just the I formation of the status of my brain ?

[@CodyRallMD]

Have you watched this video of mine yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWmuqGikasaLoLc

[@hiyaworld2170]

why i can't find this app in australian apple store do i need to create an american account :( ?

[@pjardi1571]

Hey great video. I am a master student in cognitive psychology and was wondering which device ( Emotiv, muse etc) would you recommend now as 2016

[@CodyRallMD]

Thanks Pierre! Will you be doing research with it? Emotiv has a 14 channel EEG that will be more precise for research purposes. If you just want it for meditation neurofeedback, Muse has really done a nice job with the mobile software.

[@Aqualanche]

Emotiv has also a more recent model called Insight which is comparable with Muse in terms of mobility and meditation neurofeedback. Would be nice if you could compare the two. Emotiv promotes Insight big way, and I must admit it looks nice but I heard it is difficult to calibrate and get adequate data. Any experience with that? Btw, it is a 5 channel EEG.

[@CodyRallMD]

Yes, thanks V8. I have an Emotiv Insight as well and will be coming out with a video on it soon. Still experimenting with the software on it. Stay tuned!

[@gridironplayer6488]

What about using it to stay focused during work? Lets say I am doing math and I want to stay focused, would it detect when I get distracted? The reason why I am asking is because when you work your brain is still "active" for there is a difference between being distracted an focused.

[@CodyRallMD]

Yes, I would take a look at the Mendi for focus training

[@zsomborungvarszki9341]

backgrund music is too loud!

[@ViengsinakhoneLeuang]

Can it record and track your brainwaves with no sounds? Do you have to have sounds playing or can it be used with completely no sound?

[@CodyRallMD]

Sound is not required for brainwave recording :)

[@lav1daloca]

Can you do a detailed review of the emotiv insight

[@CodyRallMD]

Coming up soon

[@jaimeagc]

Hi, thanks for this video, i have a question... Muse detects Beta, alpha, gamma brain waves ? thanks a lot !

[@CodyRallMD]

Yes you can see all those on the Mind Monitor app

[@guilhermevitali3428]

Hi Cody, Is it possible to listen to other music apps and still use the Muse headband and app to collect brain data? Or maybe wearing the ear phones connected to another device like a computer so you just capture brain waves in the headband and app from differente sounds and music without the necessity of the music from the Muse app? Also is it possible to collect data while awake in a regular work day or sleeping at night without any music at all? I am searching for a headband that I can study the brain in all situations instead just for meditation?

[@CodyRallMD]

Yes, those are all possible if you are using multiple phones, computers, ect. Thanks for the question!

[@deanacarter8998]

the force trainer stays on set up doesnt ever go any further so we cant start game any suggestions

[@CodyRallMD]

What game are you referring to?

[@minicub9902]

I bought the muse. But I did not know how to use this device because I can not understand english. I watched your movie and I can use it!!thank you~!!By the way the calm is too much. Wanderful!!!How long do you meditation???

[@CodyRallMD]

Awesome!!!! Glad to hear it :) I've been meditating regularly for about 6 years now.

[@musicman254]

Question, I am a alcoholic, not a abusive nor crazy alcoholic I just drink everyday after work and I’m not proud of it, sometimes I can get negative towards life with this and am wondering with this will it help consume the negativity and help with me not drinking so much?

[@CodyRallMD]

Regular meditation would definitely be a part of a new healthy lifestyle for you. I do not think Muse alone will solve your problem but it surely could be a part of a more comprehensive lifestyle plan.

[@mindfulnessconsapevolezza2472]

I do not understand why I have no real time grafic on my app. After each session I can only see how many birds I got and the info how much in form of % I was calm but I do not have the grafic about my brainwaves. It is so disappointing!!! Can you tell me why I cant se brain wave data of each session?? Or is it impossible to see on android phones?

[@CodyRallMD]

Get MuseMonitor for that musemonitor.com

[@carlosarosemena7742]

Can you use it for studying? as in put it on and helps me stay focused?

[@CodyRallMD]

It would probably distract you while studying. BUT regular meditation with it will improve your focus later... i.e. meditate with it every day and it will improve your focus later.

[@CodyRallMD]

Mentioned your comment in my vid this week ;)

[@Docendo1121discimus]

will it help me well for example I'am reading something as automated but not sending it to short-term memory. Sou do you mean that mastering meditation I can silent inside thoghts about something alsr and concentrate on what I'am reading. Is that it?

[@joeewert4503]

Does the current muse still allow processing of raw data. I don’t want to buy a headband that doesn’t let me make my own software with it.

[@CodyRallMD]

They have not kept up with their software development kit. You might want to look into Notion 2 if you are a programmer.

[@joeewert4503]

@@CodyRallMD way too expensive :(

[@Eflodur]

I have bought the muse 2. The rain volume raises and drops every few seconds quite fast wich is very anoying. Is this normal?

[@JuicePod]

It's normal I believe because when it gets louder you're brain singles are drifting off and you are distracted and when it gets lower you are more relaxed and concentrated. It does this to help you learn to quiet the mind and meditate better.

[@CodyRallMD]

Just make sure you have a good connection between the sensors and your scalp. Use some water to dampen. Sometimes a bad connection will make the feedback inconsistent.

[@mailingjennynow]

how to use muse to control mouse or keyboard?

[@CodyRallMD]

Design a software application :)

[@corbypetersen4510]

Thanks for the vid. One point of correction, you keep saying "biofeedback" in reference to the sound in the ear buds. It is not "bio" feedback it is either just feedback, but more precisely it is "neuro" feedback. Biofeedback comes from data derived from the body such as heart rate, galvanic skin response, skin temperature, or muscle tension. Biofeedback is coming from central nervous system data. Its what makes this tech truly exciting. We are looking at the brain!

[@CodyRallMD]

Neurofeedback is a type of Biofeedback :)

[@corbypetersen4510]

People who administer Neurofeedback like to make the distinction. It's more accurate and specific to specify the kinds of feedback you are doing. Using that term will make you sound a lot more credible to those who know the field.

[@4thgenamerican876]

Cannot sense my brainwaves no matter what position or wetting sensors so frustrating

[@CodyRallMD]

Maybe you got a defective device. Sorry.

[@mokuho]

What does it mean put attention of your breath? In one point? In the nose? In the Diaphragm? 🙄

[@CodyRallMD]

Great question! Any place that feels best to you. Sometimes you can be drawn to a certain point that will create a surge of energy in your body that feels terrific!

[@NakedSageAstrology]

This is good, but is also a distraction as it is forcing You to observe more Vrittis.

[@andresferreira452]

This gadgets are fun but the data you can obtein from them "does not seem to contain much brain activity" as claimed in the paper "Muse Headband: Measuring Tool or a Collaborative Gadget?" published in "Collaborative Innovation Networks", Springer

[@jennmooney]

I would love if the narrator made one of these videos for people like me who can't follow someone who talks so fast without it causing me to feel out of control. He has a lovely voice but I can't follow as it is so F A S T.

[@msb9997]

Go to settings in bottom right hand corner -click speed and you can slow his voice down from normal to .75 - that may help.

[@CodyRallMD]

Good feedback, I'll try to slow down in future videos :)

[@arrealle4943]

People are not considering the evil that can be done with these type devices. It would be nice if everyone would use these for what they are suppose to be used for, but from personal experience, I can tell you that not everyone will.

[@CodyRallMD]

Not quite at the level of brain hacking yet. I think you can sleep safely at this point. :)

[@scoobORG]

this is a howto not a review, and slow af
