      Right now I’m teaching them to run through one stripey wall to get a reward, but to ignore another stripey wall to avoid having to wait for the next round. Then sometimes they hear a little bell tone, which means that if they get the next wall right they’ll get rewarded more, but if they get it wrong, they’ll have to wait even longer to the next round. That’s how we get them to pay extra attention. The whole thing would probably be a bit too boring for humans, but the mice seem to like it! 🙂
