US EditionScientists make VR goggles for mice so they can feel what it is like to be attacked by a bird
- Researchers at Northwestern University have developed virtual reality goggles for mice, allowing for more immersive experiences and accurate study of neural circuitry in laboratory settings.
- The miniature goggles, known as iMRSIV, provide a 180-degree field of view for the mice, fully immersing them and excluding the surrounding environment. This enables researchers to simulate overhead threats, previously impossible with current systems.
- Comparing the goggle-wearing mice to those using traditional VR systems, the former learned more quickly and engaged with the environment in a more natural way. The goggles could also help researchers understand how the human brain reacts to repeated VR exposure.
