How do you know they won't be raging and screaming homophobic shit. You don't understand their language. [editline]08:27PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Kybalt;17835729]Can we train them to play this and maybe do something to fire a weapon (in game derp) and reward them with food based on the number of frags or something? Then put them up against other mice.[/QUOTE] That made me lol. AND THE LOSER STARVES AS PUNISHMENT
[QUOTE=QwertySecond;17833833]Thus mapping the little critter's brain, and furthering our understanding of biological science. If you watch the video, you'll see the mouse is [b]on[/b] the ball. (Insert Billy Mays reference)[/QUOTE] It's a dome screen. :downs:

We were well aware of that. There was also some scientific value, bu it is a mouse running in a game so who cares?
Finally someone equal to my skill level in minesweeper.
That mouse has better in-game coordination than my mother
We must use these mice to repopulate old multiplayer games.
It seems the mouse is looking at those cylinder things and progressing to the next one. Nothing amazing, it just looked like it was running to the right the whole time and thinking "WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT HOLE"
Oh cool now i can bet on how many kills my mouse gets. [editline]08:58PM[/editline] And mice would replace bots so we can have a zombie survival game where the survivors are moving pieces of peanut butter.
Sounds great, but it's missing the soundtrack.
Sounds like a new way for decent AI.

[QUOTE=LSK;17835692]It would be pretty fucking epic to play Halo 3/Quake against mice. Would be so much win.[/QUOTE] Squeak
[QUOTE=Ishmael12;17833520] Atleast they wouldn't be screaming homophobic statements at each other[/QUOTE] Yes they would but we just wouldn't understand it
This is kinda like the Matrix for mice.
Looks to me like the mouse isn't actually choosing where to go, just running frantically so it doesn't fall off the rollerball.
They should have given it a proper maze, that was just a room of cylinders
should of given it a gun and some aliens to shot
I was expecting it to fight some stroggs!
They fixed it's head still so it wouldn't jiggle around all the equipment. This means it can't turn it's head around and change direction. Defeating the entire fucking point of the experiment.
[QUOTE=Ishmael12;17833520] Holy shit maybe these could one day allow mice to shoot each other in Halo 3 Atleast [b]they wouldn't be screaming homophobic statements at each other[/b][/QUOTE] Sniff ek sniff, eek eek eekeee snyff! in translation... You big fat bag full of cheese!

Would be good for mouse tourniments. I wounder if once you give them weapons, they won't know what to do.
