Experiment to train rats to play Doom reaches a new level; rats can now shoot enemies — wraparound AMOLED screen provides virtual environment for neuroengineers' expanded open source project

This article from Tom's Hardware discusses the ongoing experiment to train rats to play Doom, which has evolved into a second-generation setup. The updated rig allows rats to interact with the game in a more complex way, including shooting enemies, thanks to a curved AMOLED screen and a trigger mechanism. The project demonstrates the potential of using game engines as low-cost virtual testbeds for scientific research on animal behavior in virtual environments.
