What it is: "A computer vision program created by Google which uses a convolutional neural network to find and enhance patterns in images via algorithmic pareidolia, thus creating a dreamlike hallucinogenic appearance in the deliberately over-processed images"
How it works:
Why is this helpful: It invokes the need and possibilities for further study, because its resemblance to LSD- and psilocybin-induced hallucinations "is suggestive of a functional resemblance between artificial neural networks and particular layers of the visual cortex."
Examples of DeepDream images:
Here is a really cool sample of a DeepDream video:

How it works:
- detects patterns in images to enable the automatic classification of these images
- Like GP(Gennetic programming) programs, it can be trained
- once that is done, it can be run in reverse, which facilitates the better understanding of the structure of the neural network.
- After enough reiterations, imagery will be adjusted so that it results in a form of pareidolia, which is what is used to algorithmically generate psychedelic and surreal image.
