Researchers Unveil MouseGoggles, a Virtual Reality Headset for Mice

Researchers from Cornell University unveil MouseGoggles, an immersive virtual reality headset for mice that was made using low-cost, off-the-shelf components, such as smartwatch displays and tiny lenses. It offers visual stimulation over a wide field of view while tracking the mouse’s eye movements and changes in pupil size. The team hopes that this technology will help unlock neural activity that informs spatial navigation and memory function, thus providing new insights into disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease as well as its potential treatments. How does it stay on a mouse? Well, they aren't exactly wearing the headset, as the mouse stands
