Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have developed robotic neural recording devices, called 'cranial exoskeletons,' that assist mice in navigating physical spaces while recording neural activity. The study found that mice can learn to work with the robot to perform tasks and make decisions, enabling naturalistic behavior without head fixation. This research, supported by various organizations including the National Institutes of Health, aims to record neural activity at cellular resolution in freely moving rodents using robotics.
