Do you think the wearable tech business has already announced too many gadgets? Think again because this next big thing is actually related to thinking.
"Muse" is a brain-reading headset and it's mostly for meditating. So, if you've had enough after a long day of work, just strap on this gadget and it will bring you a rush of serenity.

The goal of the gadget is to look at a person's brain activity and ask you to stop thinking about anything too much. InteraXon, a Canadian company, will help you achieve this.
But are you ready for the price? Sources say the product costs you US$299. Not at all cheap but at least it could help you let that imagination factory work again. Experts say the gadget could be a great saving compared to costly therapy sessions.
So how does it work? Well, the Muse headset needs to be connected to a gadget via Bluetooth. You still have to download the iOS or the Android version of the app called "Calm." It contains instructions and methods you will be follow to be a meditating master yourself.
The app and the device work hand in hand in calibrating your thinking. After that, it asks you to think of three things in different categories. A soothing voice tells you to breathe and then you'll hear mostly nature-related sounds.
If your mind becomes stressed once again, the app will detect that and will try to soothe you again.
Also, it has this game-ish sense in it since the more a person is calm, the more birds chirping you get.
Each session also gives you scores and the more scores you get, the more levels are unlocked. Plus, it only takes you about three minutes to do it.
Another good thing about it is that it can power up to five devices.
