Is it still called a "selfie" if the rats don't get to see the resulting pictures? The dictionaries I consulted define "selfie" as the photographic output, and not the act of taking pictures.[1][2]
I don't see any display device in that setup, so it seems the rats are just pressing buttons for sugar, independent of any camera activity.

Edit: Looks like I just didn't see the screen but it's there.
