Stimulus Screen / Juice Reward Mechanism Monkey

Stimulus Screen Monkey or Juice Reward Mechanism Monkey refers to a scientific diagram illustrating a monkey with a recording electrode on its head staring at a stimulus screen and rewarded by a "juice reward mechanism." The diagram originally appeared in a 2011 study by the Cognitive Neurophysiology Laboratory titled "The neuronal basis of self-motion perception" and started to become the subject of memes in 2020. The meme is similar to the Neuron Activation meme.
