Welcome to Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband that helps you meditate and sleep and meditation studio, the five-star app. I'm Patricia Carpice. I'm excited to share something new from Muse. If you're like the rest of us that struggle with getting a good night's sleep, you'll want to check out the new

digital sleeping pill. It's an intuitive sleep guide. It's part of the next generation of Muse S,

and it responds to your brain activity to help quiet your busy mind and guide you into a more

restful sleep. It's a responsive kind of sleep experience that's designed to

lull you to sleep and help you fall back to sleep if you wake up during the night. Check it out

at choosemuse.com and use discount code launch 15 to give it a try. Now on to REO.

Hello and welcome to another fascinating untangle. My guest this week is Dr. Adrian Owen.

He's a famous British neuroscientist. He's here to talk to us today about cognition,

consciousness, sleep, and all sorts of interesting insights about the brain that

he's gained from his wide body of discoveries. We will learn about the largest sleep and

cognition study in the world, how he discovered that individuals in a vegetative state could

still communicate and what they said to him, which is mind-blowing.

We'll hear why brain training apps are likely bunk,

and we'll also talk a little bit about the Mew's digital sleeping pill and why it works,

which he just finished his own study on.

It turns out, according to Dr. Owen's study, that Mews really does help you sleep.

Dr. Owen is a professor at the Brain and Mind Institute at Western University, and with multiple high-profile discoveries to his name, in 2019,

Dr. Owen was made an officer of the most excellent order of the British Empire for services

to scientific research. Welcome, Adrienne.

Thanks very much.

Oh, it's so exciting to be here with you.

I'm excited to dive into all sorts of topics, including what kinds of things someone in a vegetative state might want to communicate.
