Wow, I'm calling a hoax. They produce images of dubious value, and for whatever reason, contaminate the results by mutating them with the Deep Dream stylization.

This is as bad as the dead salmon results.

EDIT: You can flag all you want, but look at this playback of the reconstruction:

There's nothing useful happening here.

Next: All you need to do to make the next billion $ movie is your imagination, literally (and a 100m$ helium cooled MRI machine, and 25$ worth of AWS credits).

MRI is crazy expensive, but you only really need $4M for the scanner, so doable for indie rom-come as well as blockbusters!

That's exactly what they say they're doing. That's not "contamination" - that's the whole point.
