Teaching Students Relaxation and Attention Skills with the Muse

How the Muse Can Help Students Build Focus, Stamina, and Emotional Balance

In recent years, I’ve noticed a growing concern among educators and therapists—students are showing signs of low stamina, anxiety, and cognitive fatigue at increasingly younger ages. Between digital distractions, academic demands, and overstimulation, many learners struggle to sustain attention, manage emotions, and regulate stress.

One innovative tool that’s making a difference is The Muse Headband—a brain-sensing device that uses neurofeedback to help students practice mindfulness and strengthen focus through real-time data.

How Can I Address Low Stamina and Student Anxiety?

Muse offers an engaging, technology-based approach to training the ability to focus and calm the mind. By providing instant feedback on brain activity, students learn to recognize when their minds wander and gently bring their attention back.

Over time, consistent use can help learners:

• Strengthen attention, stamina, and working memory
• Decrease stress and anxiety levels
• Improve emotional regulation and impulse control
• Enhance mood, self-awareness, and metacognition

So What Are the Benefits of Muse for Students?

The Muse can help you and your students:

• Motivate cognitive growth with measurable, brain-based feedback
• Manage stress and depression through guided meditation practice
• Regulate the amygdala, reducing fight-or-flight responses
• Establish a mindfulness routine that supports happiness, focus, and relaxation

How Can The Muse Be Used with Students?

Educators, learning specialists, and executive functioning coaches are using Muse to build emotional balance and focus during sessions. You can start with short, guided meditations before academic work or use them as a calming activity after stressful moments.

Muse also offers a Professionals Program, providing tools and resources for educators and clinicians who wish to integrate mindfulness and neurofeedback into their practice.
