New study reveals cognitive costs of LLM-assisted essay writing. EEG shows weaker brain connectivity in LLM users vs. Search Engine & Brain-only groups. LLM users also reported lower essay ownership & struggled with quoting. Findings urge caution in AI reliance in education arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872

LLM companies are beta testing experimental products our children, and educators are facilitating it.

It is *literally impossible* to have reliable guardrails on LLMs. More research is coming out on this. But,remember: ll LLM CEOs have admitted they don't understand how their product works. Prob not good look in court. www.activefence.com/blog/llm-gua...

BEYOND MATERIALISM: EXPLORING THE MIND-BRAIN RELATIONSHIP Neurosurgeon Michael Egnor and philosopher Angus Menuge probe the relationship through #philosophy, #neuroscience, and information #theory mindmatters.ai/2025/03/beyo...

Dr @engeltatiana.bsky.social : “The widespread assumption is that this heterogeneity reflects the complex dynamics involved in cognition,” said Dr. Engel. “But surprisingly, we found that this apparent complexity arises from a very different neural coding principle.” www.earth.com/news/how-you...

Findings show distinct brain regions handle individual concepts (frontal/parietal cortex) vs. relations (temporal cortex). LLMs predict brain activity, revealing complex semantic networks. By @pbogdan.bsky.social #maps #brain #processes #concepts #semantic #LLMs www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

6/🧵 Together, these findings produce a map of how we build meaning: from concept coding in the occipitotemporal cortex to relational integration in frontoparietal and striatal regions Come see our full preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (Thanks for reading!)

5/🧵 Relational analysis also identified a role of the dorsal striatum. Despite not being typically seen as an area for semantic coding, striatal regions robustly represent relational content, and the strength of this representation predicts participants’ judgments about item pairs

4/🧵 We used LLM embeddings to model neural representations via fMRI and RSA, which revealed dissociations in information processing. Occipitotemporal structures parse concepts but not relations. Conversely, frontoparietal regions (especially the PFC) almost exclusively encode relational information

3/🧵 Next, we tested relational information. LLM activity for texts like “A prison and poker table” robustly predicts human ratings on the likelihood of finding a poker table in a prison. Further analyses show how LLMs parsing such texts also capture precise propositional relational features

2/🧵 To produce concept embeddings, we submit a short text (“A porcupine”) to contemporary LLMs and extract the LLMs’ residual stream. Leveraging data from our normative feature study, we find that LLM embeddings better predict human-reported propositional features than older models (word2vec, BERT)

🚨 New preprint 🚨 Prior work has mapped how the brain encodes concepts: If you see fire and smoke, your brain will represent the fire (hot, bright) and smoke (gray, airy). But how do you encode features of the fire-smoke relation? We analyzed fMRI with embeddings extracted from LLMs to find out 🧵
