I’ve seen this before with the practical application being that you can keep the animal stationary while it thinks it’s moving, in order to record brain activity.
Rat strapped into some contraption and forced to play a game.
It’s just that, when I think about it, I don’t see a difference in kind between training the rat to play a video game and teaching a dog to roll over and play dead. Neither is natural animal behavior, and the animal doesn’t really have a choice in either case.
Missed opportunity to name them Neo, Morpheus and Trinity.
hehe very important
although... if the walls moved and touched the whiskers in conjunction with the game could be something
also nice to see those classic cheap blue stepper motors ha
