hey it's dr trish leigh i was going to do a quick brain training session with my muse
headband so i thought i'll just record it because i know people want to know how it
works and i'm only planning on doing a three minute brain reset session like i encourage
people to do when they purchase the headband so here it goes this is what we need to do
for your brain training session you turn your headband on and you can see it lit up it has
five sensors in the front two in the temporal pieces that go over your ear so you put the
headband on yeah gives you funky hair you have to make sure that it's connected underneath
your hair so i'm getting my hair out of the way and then once it's connected i typically
wear my air pods but i'm not going to so that you can hear it's not even but that's okay
um okay so then i fire up my muse app and it was set for longer so i'm gonna turn it
down to three minutes set for three hitting it i'm going to be doing the campfire soundscape
i'm going to put it by the microphone so you can hear it when you hear birds if i can accomplish
them on a video when you hear birds it is the positive feedback so i'm going to hit
start because it's gonna take a minute to calibrate
for this calibration find a comfortable position and close your eyes take a deep breath
muse is now listening to your brain signals relax and let your mind flow naturally during
this whatever you're experiencing right now is perfect no need to control or change anything
it will read how my brain is performing as a baseline my baseline brain performance pattern
[Music]
ready place your attention on your breath now
[Music]
[Applause] you can see why i don't record them often not much happens during a brain
training session i figured i would explain it to you hoping for the birds that i am getting
there you hear those birds that's the positive feedback in the few videos i've done recording
my brain training sessions i joke on how good making videos is for my brain there's the
proof now you know why i make them simply because it's important to me and it puts my
brain in a really good spot those birds that you heard those are the reward for my brain
so they tell my brain that i'm making a calm focus mode clearly when i have my eyes closed
and i know you're staring at me and nothing's happening i'm gonna turn the volume down it's
harder for me to get those birds so when you use this for three minutes you can reset your
brain from the active mode that drives you to either go into the screen or to take the
edge off or make you feel anxious makes you feel overwhelmed when you reset your brain
you bring it back to calm focus and you can see on my screen it just looks like a fire
and even though i'm super rocking out the birds right now i'm going to end my session
so that i can show you my graph and it's super cool so let me save it because it's pretty
neat uh okay so i'm going to show you that session and so you can see it was 82 com so
you can see how hopefully you can see let me hit an angle that you can see you can see
how my brain started in that darker purple range that darker medium purple is neutral
so i started in neutral and then the rest of the time i was in the calm zone for one
minute and 31 seconds thankfully i was never in the active if you're in the active zone
that means you have anxiety your brain's overwhelmed or it's exhausted or it's stressed out and
you can see how my brain was kind of ebbing and flowing and then it came down and it hit
that nice you know nice plateau nice and low in the calm zone where i earned all those
birds and that's the essence of brain training this is how you use it you can use it three
minutes at a time to bring your brain out of the active in the neutral zones into the
calm zone and every time you get in the calm zone you're creating more calm focus in your
brain performance pattern if you use this daily or every other day it's going to reset
your baseline from higher more anxious and overwhelmed too lower calmer and more focused
i hope that helps you out i'm gonna go finish my ses my session and until next time control
your brain or it'll control you
