Training-language dominance, not English inherent properties, determines brain-LLM alignment across English, Chinese, and French, with additional independent effects from typological distance concentrated in syntactic brain regions.
Syntactic belief update via generalized Rényi divergence on syntactic trees predicts garden path reading times better than lexical surprisal.
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.
The paper introduces a time-resolved neural encoder combining Whisper embeddings with recurrent temporal modeling and soft attention to predict ECoG responses, finding strongest alignment in intermediate layers and anatomically coherent phoneme organization in electrodes.
