# Muse 2 EEG headband Muse is a smart headband that acts as your personal meditation coach. Using advanced EEG brain sensors, Muse can detect your brain activity and provide you with real-time feedback in the form of gentle audio sounds through your headphones (regular use in the Muse app). Primarily advertised as a neurofeedback tool, the headband tracks heart rate (**PPG + Pulse Oximetry**), angular velocity (**gyroscope**), proper acceleration (**accelerometer**), and electroencephalography (**dry electrodes**) to assist you in your meditation sessions.
The Muse can be connected to your computer using Petal Metrics: [https://petal.tech/downloads](https://petal.tech/downloads) This tool allows you to send the EEG data to your computer through OSC. ![Screenshot 2024-02-26 at 15.19.55.png](https://bookstack.hku.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2024-02/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2024-02-26-at-15-19-55.png)
