A mobile platform arrangement 10, comprising a first platform 21, referred as a mobile platform and a second platform 11 referred as a support platform, is provided. Both platforms are realized as flat-bottomed members, wherein the support platform is preferably, but not exclusively, provided with sidewalls and wherein a diameter of the support platform 11 exceeds an outer diameter of the mobile platform 21 at least twice. The mobile platform 21 is advantageously positioned onto and/or within the support platform 11. The top surface of the support platform 11 is provided with a friction reducing surface structure 12. The mobile platform 21 is therefore adjusted to perform gliding motion along and/or over the friction reducing surface 12, wherein acceleration necessary for performing gliding motion is imposed to the mobile platform 21 by an external force, provided by movement of an experimental animal within the mobile platform 21. The mobile platform arrangement 10 in addition may comprise means for securing a conscious wake and able to move experimental animal, which means comprise a head adapter and mounting means for head adapter.
