The code and data is here: https://github.com/KamitaniLab/DeepImageReconstruction Not a hoax. Your comparison to Deep Dream is quite apt, for good reason that you clearly don't realize- Deep Dream is an attempt to "enhance patterns in images via algorithmic pareidolia"- Pareidolia being a "psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to a stimulus". So yes, this project is affected by a real life "deep dream".
