The mice can have a little VR. As a treat
This is the foundation of the Jurassic Park sequel we deserve
I was thinking more of Pinky and The Brain.
These experiments are pretty cool, and we can learn a lot about the animal’s interactions without having to follow them around and hope they run into a scenario.
There’s also this video by Tom Scott about “VR for locusts” which goes into why these experiments are cool

The downside is you need to be careful extrapolating since the VR setup might influence the results, but that’s also true for most other observation methods in biological research
