A chamber is vertically divided into two lands with a transparent, perforated divider for visual illumination and auditory cues. Tactile cues are also shared between the two chambers given two lanes are shared on a continuous floor, and olfactory interactions between mice and rats are possible. 3 zones are created between two lanes

Automation with IR beam and automated water spout

Upon the fulfillment of the computerized algorithm of cooperative condition, the peristaltic pumps provide mutual reward (70μl, 20% sucrose drop) through the liquid dispensers

Re-gaining of mutual reward requires additional coordinated movement from zone “A” to “C”
