[HTML][HTML] Why language processing recruits modality specific brain regions: It is not about understanding words, but about modelling situations
Whether language comprehension requires the participation of brain structures that evolved
for perception and action has been a subject of intense debate. While brain-imaging …

Does injecting linguistic structure into language models lead to better alignment with brain recordings?
Neuroscientists evaluate deep neural networks for natural language processing as possible
candidate models for how language is processed in the brain. These models are often …

Differential tracking of linguistic vs. mental state content in naturalistic stimuli by language and theory of mind (ToM) brain networks
Abstract Language and social cognition, especially the ability to reason about mental states,
known as theory of mind (ToM), are deeply related in development and everyday use …

[PDF][PDF] Behavioral estimates of conceptual structure are robust across tasks in humans but not large language models.
Neural network models of language have long been used as a tool for developing
hypotheses about conceptual representation in the mind and brain. For many years, such …
