An interesting idea would be to create a rather huge labyrinth-type game for the rodent which could be observed through cameras on a computer, giving options to remotely manipulate the field/game without the actual field being in the room (connecting digital and “real NPCs”) | An interesting idea would be to create a rather huge labyrinth-type game for the rodent which could be observed through cameras on a computer, giving options to remotely manipulate the field/game without the actual field being in the room (connecting digital and “real NPCs”) | ||
Other experiments put mice and rats in virtual environments like a "cave"[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_automatic_virtual_environment]. The rodents could move through the virtual environment on a ball, which is connected to the computer. | |||

There is also the opportunity to obtain rodants, which were previously used in lab experiments , which might be morally a bit more legitimate. | |||
