Abstract

Transformer models such as GPT generate human-like language and are predictive of human brain responses to language. Here, using functional-MRI-measured brain responses to 1,000 diverse sentences, we first show that a GPT-based encoding model can predict the magnitude of the brain response associated with each sentence. We then use the model to identify new sentences that are predicted to drive or suppress responses in the human language network. We show that these model-selected novel sentences indeed strongly drive and suppress the activity of human language areas in new individuals. A systematic analysis of the model-selected sentences reveals that surprisal and well-formedness of linguistic input are key determinants of response strength in the language network. These results establish the ability of neural network models to not only mimic human language but also non-invasively control neural activity in higher-level cortical areas, such as the language network.

“Interstate 11 would decimate habitat for cactus ferruginous pygmy owls, who play a vital role in maintaining the health of the Sonoran Desert,” Russ McSpadden, a Southwest conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a press statement. “These small but fierce birds nest and raise their young in saguaro cacti and other desert trees that would be bulldozed for the highway’s construction. We’re fully committed to protecting these rare owls and their habitat from destruction.”

it's gover, folks

bring back good posts

seared flour tortilla

rice

hemp hearts

homemade salsa (just a blend of random local peppers, an onion, garlic, a roasted tomatillo, lime juice)

chili style multi-bean mixture (this one was a treat because we had a lot of fancy shmancy locally grown beans in the pantry, not just the usual bulk): red beans, black beans, pinto beans, tepary beans, vaquero beans, miso, random peppers, garlic, onions, carrots

cucumber for extra crunch

imitation mozzarella (not miyokos or daiya, but if anybody really wants to know I can check the fridge later)

Tonight I'm making one with chili-bbq fried jackfruit.
