The gadgets allow scientists to develop better experiments so they can better understand them. Researchers have announced that they have developed a way to outfit lab mice with virtual reality goggles that will allow those researchers to learn a considerable amount about the rodents. The technology does sound odd, but it has a range of highly practical applications for research. Scientists plan to use the new virtual reality technology to better understand the way mice respond to things they typically experience in the wild, such as predatory birds. Though this…
