If by knowing the structure of a NN a "trick" image can be specially crafted to fool it, what is the equivalent for a human brain?

If we get to the point of having a human connectome to analyze-- or the kind of access to neural topology that a neural lace would provide-- could an optimizer generate an image of static that human would mistake for the president of the United States?

It seems outwardly implausible that such an image could exist, but perhaps that is only because we've never seen one (or if we had, would we know?), and a "blind" search of images would never find it, as the space of images is galactically huge. With a "map" of the brain it might suddenly become plausible.

And if so, that world sounds absolutely terrifying to me.
