Music & Mind: Alphabeats and Muse Team Up for Affordable Brain Training

Ever wished mental training could be as engaging as listening to your favorite tunes? Well, the innovative minds at Alphabeats and Muse have joined forces to make that wish a reality. This dynamic duo is now offering an affordable brain training program using music and neurofeedback technology. Let's dive into how this partnership is changing the game. Alphabeats has been known for its high-tech BrainBit headband, which comes at a hefty $450. While that option is still around, the company has now partnered with Muse to bring you a more affordable alternative. The price tag? A cool $200, slashing the original cost by a whopping $250. So, what's the big deal about this partnership? Both companies specialize in portable mental training programs. Muse, on the other hand, makes consumer electroencephalogram (EEG) headbands that are a lot easier on the wallet. Jean-Michel Fournier, CEO of Muse, summed it up perfectly: "Our mission is to make brain health tools accessible. With Alphabeats, we're offering users a holistic approach to mental recovery and peak performance. "Here's how the Alphabeats program works with the Muse headband. After selecting your preferred mental training exercise and favorite music genre (powered by Feed. fm) via the companion app, the Alphabeats app goes to work. It adapts the music in real-time based on your alpha brainwave activity. This helps improve focus, manage stress, and even enhance sleep. Professional athletes have shown up to a 70% increase in their ability to achieve a calm, focused state using Alphabeats. The best part? You can see significant improvements in your brain performance in just 90 days. The Alphabeats-Muse combo is available for pre-order at a limited-time offer of $200, which includes a Muse 2 EEG headband and a 1-year Alphabeats subscription. After the promotion, the price jumps to $400, but it's still cheaper than the original BrainBit combo. Expected shipping date for the Muse hardware is November 29.
