Researchers at Cornell University have developed ‘MouseGoggles’, a miniature VR headset with eye-tracking for mice, which was used to study complex behaviors during neural recordings.

The team used the MouseGoggles while examining two key areas of the brain. Scans of the visual cortex helped to confirm the goggles form sharp images on the mouse's retinas, ...

The new VR setup, called MouseGoggles, requires a mouse to stand on a ball-shaped treadmill with its head fixed in place. The headset is attached to its head and held in place with a rod while the ...

The MouseGoggles could also improve the study of blood flow in the brain. Previous research has shown that improving blood circulation in mice with Alzheimer's boosted their memory within hours. This ...

The so-called "MouseGoggles" was created to help scientists study brain responses, advancing research into Alzheimer's disease and other neurological conditions.
