TORONTO: Muse® by Interaxon, a leader in brain health and neurotechnology, proudly announces the launch of a new cognitive performance metric, Alpha Peak. As the first in a suite of advanced brain health metrics, Alpha Peak empowers users to enhance cognitive performance through personalized, actionable insights with an easy-to-understand score—paving the way for enhanced mental fitness.
As we age, cognitive decline becomes an increasingly significant concern with no convenient way to measure it. Research indicates that certain cognitive functions, including memory, executive functions, processing speed, and reasoning, begin to decline from as early as the 30s1. Furthermore, studies suggest that mild cognitive impairment (MCI) affects 10-20% of adults over 65, with the potential to evolve into more severe cognitive issues if left unmanaged2.
Introducing Alpha Peak: The HRV of the Brain
Similar to how heart rate variability (HRV) provides insights into cardiovascular health, Alpha Peak can help you understand your brain’s aging process and take charge of your cognitive health. Research indicates that alpha peak frequency (APF) varies with age: it increases during childhood, peaking in early adulthood, and declining thereafter. This pattern suggests APF is closely tied to cognitive maturation and aging. A 2016 foundational study involving over 6,000 participants using Muse devices found a strong correlation between APF and cognitive performance, including overall cognitive health, processing speed, and memory3.
By leveraging Muse mEEG devices to measure individual APF after biofeedback sessions, users can obtain a cognitive performance score with personalized tips for optimizing alpha wave activity. After completing a few Muse sessions, a personalized baseline is established, and users will receive a graph showing whether their Alpha Peak falls within, below, or above this baseline.
As users monitor lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and sleep, they can directly correlate these changes with their Alpha Peak score and receive personalized prompts to optimize their habits accordingly.
“Muse has strategically positioned itself at the forefront of brain health by focusing on key areas such as enhancing focused attention, revolutionizing at-home sleep support, and now with Alpha Peak, advancing cognitive performance,” said Jean-Michel Fournier, CEO of Muse. “Each of these initiatives aligns with our audacious goal of improving brain health globally, through accessible advanced neurotechnology.”
Advancing Brain Health with Innovative Research
Muse’s commitment to brain health goes beyond cognitive performance, driving research across multiple critical areas such as sleep and cognitive decline:
“The ability to measure brain health in real-time with Muse’s technology is a game-changer for diagnosing and managing mild cognitive impairment,” said Dr. Olav Krigolson PhD, professor and principal investigator of the study. “This research has the potential to revolutionize early intervention strategies, offering new hope for those at risk of cognitive decline.”
