EPFL's NEvo evolves generated videos against predicted visual-cortex responses
All results are computer-simulated predictions from a "digital twin" brain model — not yet validated with real human brain imaging.

AI-synthesized videos, built to light up the brain
A research team from EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) and Johns Hopkins University recently published a system called NEvo: it uses an evolutionary algorithm to generate AI videos, using them to map out the preferences of the brain's visual regions.
