Inducing Dyslexia in Vision Language Models
Melika Honarmand, Ayati Sharma, Badr AlKhamissi +2
Dyslexia, a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent reading difficulties, is often linked to reduced activity of the visual word form area (VWFA) in the ventral occ…
Evaluating Contrast Localizer for Identifying Causal Units in Social & Mathematical Tasks in Language Models
Yassine Jamaa, Badr AlKhamissi, Satrajit Ghosh +1
This work adapts a neuroscientific contrast localizer to pinpoint causally relevant units for Theory of Mind (ToM) and mathematical reasoning tasks in large language models (LLMs)…
From Language to Cognition: How LLMs Outgrow the Human Language Network
Badr AlKhamissi, Greta Tuckute, Yingtian Tang +3
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable similarity to neural activity in the human language network. However, the key properties of language shaping brain-like representati…
The LLM Language Network: A Neuroscientific Approach for Identifying Causally Task-Relevant Units
Badr AlKhamissi, Greta Tuckute, Antoine Bosselut +1
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable capabilities on not just language tasks, but also various tasks that are not linguistic in nature, such as logical reasoning and soc…
TopoLM: brain-like spatio-functional organization in a topographic language model
Neil Rathi, Johannes Mehrer, Badr AlKhamissi +3
Neurons in the brain are spatially organized such that neighbors on tissue often exhibit similar response profiles. In the human language system, experimental studies have observed…
Brain-Like Language Processing via a Shallow Untrained Multihead Attention Network
Badr AlKhamissi, Greta Tuckute, Antoine Bosselut +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) have been shown to be effective models of the human language system, with some models predicting most explainable variance of brain activity in current…
