Believe it or not, scientists have been using virtual reality setups to study brain activity in lab mice for years. In the past, this has been done by surrounding the mice with flat displays — a ...

Despite being very low to the ground, mice are incredibly good at spotting an imminent threat like a hawk swooping down out of the sky. To get a better sense of how this behavior works, researchers at ...

"VR basically reproduces real environments," Dombeck said. "We've had a lot of success with this VR system, but it's possible the animals aren't as immersed as they would be in a real environment. It ...

A team of researchers at Northwestern University has developed tiny VR goggles for mice, which are designed to simulate overhead threats while mapping the brain activity of the rodent. The researchers ...
