HEADSHOT! Mice Learn to Play FPS
Tuesday 20 October 2009 @ 2:26 am | By Sol 4 CommentsIn the future you can expect to see armies of mechwarriors being piloted by mice. Princeton University neuroscientist, David Tank is training mice to navigate a rudimentary maze using Quake 2’s game engine for the purpose of studying individual neurons as they travel in the brain.
The real question is, when can I expect these little guys to appear in multiplayer?

Mice seem to be the most used lab animal which is sad
they’re easy to train and/or observe… when i was studying psychology we got to train a bunch to play soccer xD
the rat was the first animal domesticated for scientific purposes :D
mice came to be used more so over rats afterwards because they share a higher degree of homology with humans and their DNA is completely sequenced as of 2002
also .. they’re cheap, easy to maintain, reproduce fast which let us observe various generations n a short period of time and so on and so on…
i used to have a lovely pet rat… disliked cages and favored a shoe box.. never left Her Shelf… and could climb up its own tail as if it were rope…
i loved the little critter T^T
my dumb fake tags were stolen ;o;
the more we know
