This study strengthens a surprising phenomenon: Even though brains and LLMs differ in many ways (architecture, modality, and learning goals), they converge on similar sequence of computations. Understanding why this convergence emerges may help bridge biological and AI.

120 0

Jean-Rémi King @jeanremiking.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Two more facts: 1. This temporal alignment is not explained by word predictability. 2. bidirectional models (not inferential like the brain) do not converge toward similar sequential dynamics.

120 0

Jean-Rémi King @jeanremiking.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

However, this temporal alignment does not emerge automatically. For the same model and configuration, it seem to depend on: • Model size (larger → more brain-like) • Context length (longer context → more brain-like) Untrained models show almost no alignment.

120 0

Jean-Rémi King @jeanremiking.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

LLMs build representations in the same order as the brain: ➡️ First layers ↔ early brain responses ➡️ Deep layers ↔ later brain responses This temporal alignment is robust (r=0.99, p<1e-6) and holds across architectures (transformers & recurrent), sizes, and training regimes.

Jean-Rémi King @jeanremiking.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

🧠Question: How similar are the hierarchical computations between LLMs and the human brain? Approach: we compare the evolution of MEG brain recordings across time to the evolution of latent representations across layers of 17 LLMs.

Overall, the training of DINOv3 mirror some striking aspects of brain development: late-acquired representations map onto the cortical areas with e.g. greater expansion and slower timescales, suggesting that DINOv3 spontaneously captures some of the neuro-developmental trajectory

Jean-Rémi King @jeanremiking.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

→ Second factor: data type: Even models trained only on satellite or cellular images significantly capture brain signals — but the same model trained on standard images encodes higher all brain regions.

Jean-Rémi King @jeanremiking.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

So what are the factors that lead DINOv3 to become brain-like? → 1st factor: Model size: bigger models become brain-like faster during training, reach higher brain-scores, especially in high-level brain regions.
