Scientists put tiny VR goggles on mice to learn how animals think

Researchers at the prestigious Northwestern University have developed virtual reality (VR) goggles for mice to create immersive scenarios for brain research. "By more faithfully simulating natural environments, the researchers can more accurately and precisely study the neural circuitry that underlies behaviour," the researchers said in the study published on Friday (Dec 8).

Immersive VR goggles for mice unlock new brain research potential

Northwestern University researchers have developed new virtual reality (VR) goggles for mice. Besides just being cute, these miniature goggles provide more immersive experiences for mice living in laboratory settings. By more faithfully simulating natural environments, the researchers can more accurately and precisely study the neural circuitry that underlies behavior.
