#79 My lovely guest this week is Ariel Garten, the founder of Muse, the brain sensing headband 

 

Not only is she the founder of Muse, but she is also a neuroscientist, innovator, and entrepreneur. We dive into her challenges with 'the work', and also how she overcomes them with her own practices and make such an impact in the world. And of course, get into how Muse came about and how it can help you with your meditation practice too. Enjoy!

 

About Ariel: Ariel Garten is a neuroscientist, innovator, and entrepreneur whose driving purpose is to empower and help others overcome mental obstacles in order to live healthy, happy lives and reach their maximum potential.

 

Garten is one of the Founders of InteraXon, the makers of Muse: the brain sensing headband. Muse is the award-winning wearable technology that assists and trains meditation and mindfulness. Before founding InteraXon, Ariel was not only trained as a neuroscientist and psychotherapist, but also started her own international clothing line while she worked in labs researching Parkinson’s disease and hippocampal neurogenesis.

 

Her creativity and entrepreneurial drive, combined with her fascination with the brain, lead her to bring together two like minded friends and together they founded InteraXon, a Silicon Valley backed startup that allowed people to control computers with their minds, the technology that sparked the creation of Muse.
