MouseGoggles: Scientists Create VR Goggles for Mice
Cornell University researchers have achieved a groundbreaking feat by developing miniature virtual reality (VR) goggles for mice. Dubbed “MouseGoggles,” this innovation opens new doors to understanding animal behavior, brain function, and potential treatments for diseases like Alzheimer’s. Using affordable, off-the-shelf components such as smartwatch displays and tiny lenses, these goggles allow scientists to observe how mice respond to immersive virtual environments. The project exemplifies the ingenuity of combining existing technology with innovative research to tackle complex problems in neuroscience and medicine. What Are MouseGoggles? MouseGoggles are tiny VR headsets specifically designed for rodents. Unlike conventional large-screen VR setups that fail … Read more
