For a substantially more informative and detailed description of something quite similar see Hinton's googletech talk at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyzOUbkUf3M
As those who know anything about neural nets will know, the three level net shown, would, if it used traditional "perceptrons" which are linear, would be extremely difficult to get much out of. Hinton uses a more multi-leveled net, with non-linear nodes, and with a specified learning algorithm, and actually shows the "imagining" or dreaming that the video mentioned below only talks about.
