InteraXon Raises $6M Series A Round From Horizon, A-Grade And Others For Its Brainwave-Sensing Headset –
Summary
The company, which was founded in 2007, made the announcement at Vancouver’s GROW conference. The Muse is a six-sensor headset that monitors your brainwaves, and the company positions it as “leading in brainwave-enabled devices, applications and experiences.” The Muse is scheduled to launch next year and InteraXon plans to launch it together with its Brain Health System, a development platform for the headset and a brain fitness application with exercises that help users enhance their cognitive skills. As the company notes, it also plans to build numerous other Muse apps. It’s technology we’ve seen in numerous lab prototypes over the last few years, but it hasn’t quite made it into consumers’ hands (and onto their heads) yet. As InteraXon CEO Ariel Garten told me after she made the announcement at GROW, her expectation is that developers will take the first version of the Muse and start building innovative applications right from the start.
