Is language core to thought, or a separate process? For 15 years, the neuroscientist Ev Fedorenko has gathered evidence of a language network in the human brain — and has found some similarities to LLMs.

!["Her research suggests that, in some ways, we do carry around a biological version of an LLM — that is, a mindless language processor — inside our own brains. [But] the human language network doesn’t string words into plausible-sounding patterns with nobody home; instead, it acts as a translator between external perceptions...and representations of meaning encoded in other parts of the brain (including episodic memory and social cognition, which LLMs don’t possess)."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dsb3vynwveur75b6g7h5csel/bafkreibt4cy46mcubht77rguu6atcntbwlwxxkgjtepuauetdrozfs5zm4@jpeg)
