I'm looking for testers for my new Muse app. The purpose is to help people with aphantasia or poor visualization abilities to visualize better using Muse. It uses theta synchronization as opposed to band power, which is a first for neurofeedback apps as far as I know. The meditation types move from just the front/left/rear/right to the left and right simultaneously. It works best with Muse 2016 or Muse 2, unfortunately it doesn't really work with the Muse S, and it requires a better fit than the official Muse app so it may take some adjustments to get the electrodes to connect. The left and right simultaneously metric is "Deep Flow", it may or may not be possible to succeed at that one without trying the others first.

Re: Looking for testers for new Muse app
There was a problem with the electrodes not getting a good fit, ver 2.0.7 (9) should fix the problem.
Re: Looking for testers for new Muse app
My app with Muse and the Mendi are very complementary. Mendi helps users oxygenate their prefrontal cortex, enhancing brain function. My app guides them in harnessing this increased capability to visualize more vividly. Maybe future hardware could integrate both fNIRS and EEG.
Re: Looking for testers for new Muse app
I’ve been told that I need better explanations for the goal of each feedback metric. Here are some better descriptions:
Left Hemisphere: Similar to how it is described by Iain Mcgilchrist, the left hemisphere metric measures focus on the parts rather than the whole, focusing on specific details of the object being focused on.
Right Hemisphere: Again, similar to how it is described by Mcgilchrist, the right hemisphere metric measures focus on the whole gestalt rather than breaking things down into parts, focusing on connections, context, and the larger picture.
Focus: The focus metric measures working memory activity in the prefrontal cortex. I’ve created a mental math activity which engages working memory.
Hyperawareness: This metric measures the ability to see like an artist, using both hemispheres simultaneously. Before visualizing with Deep Flow, use this metric to make sure you’re perceiving both the parts and the whole of a target object simultaneously.
Deep Flow: This combines the Left Hemisphere and the Right Hemisphere metrics to measure activity in both hemispheres simultaneously. This is experienced as focusing on the details of a visualization while simultaneously keeping the whole gestalt in mind.
