New miniature virtual reality (VR) goggles provide more immersive experiences for mice living in laboratory settings. By more faithfully simulating natural environments, the researchers can more ...

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 ...

With the new goggles, researchers should be able to design better experiments to learn how the animals perceive the world. Reading time 2 minutes At last, researchers say they’ve found a way for lab ...

Scientists have built a tiny pair of virtual reality (VR) goggles for mice in an effort to better understand how their brains work. Using custom-designed lenses and miniature displays, a team from ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Tim Bajarin covers the tech industry’s impact on PC and CE markets. I recently wrote a article in which I stated that smart ...

Unlike VR goggles for a human, the iMRSIV (pronounced "immersive") system does not wrap around the mouse's head. Instead, the goggles are attached to the experimental setup and closely perch directly ...

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 ...
