Interaxon (Muse)
Interaxon (Muse) is a Non-Invasive Consumer EEG company founded in 2007 and based in Toronto, Canada.
Interaxon was founded in Toronto in 2007 by a team that includes Ariel Garten and Chris Aimone, and launched the Muse headband in 2014. Muse headbands read brain activity through four EEG sensors along the brow line and track meditation, focus and sleep; the Muse S Athena, launched in 2025, adds five fNIRS sensors that measure blood oxygenation in the forehead. The company earns revenue from headband sales, a Premium app subscription priced at $49.99 a year, bulk sales to employers, clinics and research groups, and an SDK for developers who build on its biosignals. In June 2025 it announced a foundation brain model with a transformer architecture, trained on more than a billion minutes of recordings collected from Muse users. Jean-Michel Fournier is chief executive.
Muse has been on sale since 2014, and researchers use it outside the lab: Olav Krigolson has used Muse headbands to study classroom attention and mental fatigue in emergency-room workers and pilots. An earlier Muse S performed comparably to standard lab sleep-testing equipment, and the Muse S Athena positions the headband as an at-home sleep monitor. Its foundation model, built on more than a billion minutes of user recordings, shows how a consumer EEG installed base can feed brain-decoding AI.
