In a UNC-Chapel Hill neuroscience lab, researchers recently monitored a mouse wearing a miniature, helmet-like device that streamed real-time data to a nearby computer. As data points on heart rate, pupil size and breathing patterns scrolled across the screen, capturing the intricate interplay between animal physiology and behavior, they realized that their device was more than just another research tool but a groundbreaking advancement in behavioral science—one where internal physiological states can finally be measured with precision, potentially revolutionizing several fields from preclinical and clinical neuroscience research to virtual reality.
