Scientists Develop Mini VR Goggles for Mice to Study Brain Responses to Predators

Researchers have developed virtual reality (VR) goggles for mice to study how their brains respond to swooping predators. The VR goggles allow the mice to experience a simulated environment where they perceive a looming predator, triggering specific brain activity. This research aims to provide insights into the neural mechanisms underlying predator-prey interactions and contribute to our understanding of how animals perceive and respond to threats.
