Athena’s Light - Accessible, highly portable research combining fNIRS, EEG, & PPG

Muse headbands are commercially available bio-sensing devices designed to measure human brain and related biometric data for meditation, research, and neurofeedback training using EEG, PPG, and fNIRS. This study explores the use of Muse devices with MuseCroc Mobile, a research tool currently under development for use in neuroscience research. Topics covered include preliminary validation of the data collection pipeline by observing changes in brain activity during eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions, analyzing the data stream processing behavior of MuseCroc Mobile, and the use of this software for developing an understanding of the fNIRS system of the Muse S Athena.
