Mice and Music

Mice and Music: Week One


While listening to your daily dose of heavy metal have you ever looked at your pet mouse and wondered is he as Heavy Metal as me? Our job here at  Mice and Music is to find a relationship between mice and music. "How?" you just asked. WITH SCIENCE! Our plan is to get 5 mice and during the day for a full week blast a certain genre of music into each of their individual cages. We will then preform social interaction tests before, during, and after that week. We will also be studying eating and drinking habits to make sure the mice are healthy and if the music has an effect as well. We will be measuring our success by the Data we receive. If we find correlation between hardcore music and aggressive behaviors then we have found data that supports our hypothesis. We are doing this because ecology interests us  and it seems like a very interesting experiment. Plus who doesn't like mice.
