Have you ever thought about meditation as something only level 5000 yoga instructors or Buddhist monks practice? Today's guest, Ariel Garten (@ariels_musings), is here to enlighten us all about not just best practices when it comes to meditation but also the true science behind what goes in our brain and the myriad of benefits it can bring our everyday lives!
Ariel is a co-founder of Muse: the brain sensing headband. Muse
is the award-winning headband that makes meditation easier. During
guided exercises, Muse senses your brain activity and sends that
information to your phone or tablet, giving you real time audio
feedback to help take the guesswork out of meditation.
Ariel studied neuroscience at the University of Toronto and worked
in labs at Toronto’s Krembil Neuroscience Centre researching
Parkinson’s disease and hippocampal neurogenesis. No mere science
nerd, Ariel is a fashion designer whose clothing opened Toronto
Fashion Week in '03, and has had her work displayed at the Art
Gallery of Ontario. Ariel’s uncommon combination of science and art
is integral to the design of Muse and to InteraXon’s unique
approach to brain sensing technology. Ariel was also a therapist in
private practice.
Ariel and her team are merging technology, neuroscience, art and
design. As well as her full time position at Muse, Ariel
keynotes around the world on technology, mindfulness and
entrepreneurship and supports and advises a variety of
start-ups.
