We provide evidence that eigenanalysis of the empirical neural tangent kernel (eNTK) can surface feature directions in trained neural networks. Across three increasingly realistic settings -- a 1-layer MLP trained on modular addition, a 1-layer Transformer trained on modular addition and the pretrained language model Gemma-3-270M -- we show that top eigenspaces of the eNTK align with ground-truth or interpretable features. In the modular arithmetic examples, top eNTK eigenspaces align with the Fourier features used by the MLP and the Fourier features at seed-dependent frequencies used by the Transformer to implement known ground-truth algorithms. Moreover, the alignment of the relevant subspaces evolves over training, with its first derivative peaking near the onset of grokking. For Gemma-3-270M, we compute top eNTK eigendirections on a dataset of TinyStories context windows and check their alignment with an automatically-generated set of parts-of-speech and other grammatical feature directions. We find that the alignment of eNTK eigendirections with grammar features outperforms a same-budget baseline of PCA on model activations. These results suggest that eNTK eigenanalysis may provide a new handle towards identifying features in trained models for mechanistic interpretability.
