According to a post surfaced by @repligate, EPFL researchers have developed NEVO, described there as using search-based algorithms to generate videos that maximally excite targeted brain regions. The visible X post frames the project as aimed at mechanistic interpretability in biological and artificial neural networks. Public sourcing still looks thin, so the safest read is what the post claims, who surfaced it, and what remains unverified before anyone treats the underlying research as settled.
