MouseGoggles: Tracking Neural Activity Through VR

▶ Source – Interesting Engineering ▶ Researchers at Cornell University have developed MouseGoggles, a miniature VR headset with eye tracking for mice, using affordable components including smartwatch displays. The device aids the study of neural activity during spatial navigation and memory tasks, potentially advancing Alzheimer’s research. Plans include lightweight versions for larger rodents and incorporating senses like taste and smell for richer VR experiences.
