Sparse autoencoders applied to GPT-2 and Llama models recover semantic features accounting for 94% of peak brain encoding performance and map onto distinct cortical semantic regions across three languages.
Varying the number of simultaneous parses in RNNGs increases predicted garden-path effects but does not fully reconcile LM surprisal with human reading times.
Language coherence arises from slow contextual integration in default-mode cortex and rapid event-driven reconfiguration in auditory and language areas, captured by LLM-derived signals in single-subject fMRI.
