Description
The Virtual Reality (VR) Headset for Mice enables immersive visual environments for head-fixed behavioral neuroscience experiments. Featuring dual high-resolution 480 × 480 displays, the headset provides a wide field of view optimized for rodent vision. Its compact, low-profile design ensures compatibility with advanced imaging modalities, including widefield and two-photon microscopy.
Key Features
- Adjustable Positioning: Optimized for mouse comfort during head-fixed experiments
- Dual 480 × 480 Displays: Provides immersive, high-resolution visual stimulation for each eye
- Wide Field of View: Tailored to rodent vision for perceptual and navigational studies
- Space-Efficient Design: Compatible with optical imaging systems, two-photon microscopy, and optogenetic setups
- Behavioral Integration: Supports visually guided tasks, retinotopy, mazes, and immersive virtual environments for studying perception, decision-making, and sensorimotor processing
- Software Compatibility: HDMI input supports VRLab Suite, PsychoPy, and other visual stimulation or retinotopy software
- PsychoPy Component: Each display can function as an independent screen for monocular visual stimulation
Applications
- Immersive visual experiments in head-fixed rodents
- Monocular and binocular retinotopy studies
- Sensorimotor and spatial navigation research
- Integration with motion tracking, stimulation systems, and behavioral monitoring
Optional Configurations
- Dual-display monitor setup available for labs that prefer not to use a head-mounted system
- VRLab Suite required for binocular retinotopy and 3D visual perception; PsychoPy supports 2D or monocular experiments
