I did not expect this to be as thoughtful as it is. Kudos to the thought put into the setup and training. Building custom hardware for the rat is amazing.. I need something like this for my own setup.

For those afraid to click: This does not appear to hurt the rats or involve doing any surgery on them.

That's the previous setup from four years ago, where the rats just run down a straight corridor.

Is it ethical to turn rats into gamers?
