用脑数据直接训练大模型,探索认知本质的新路径

A New Strategy for Artificial Intelligence: Training Foundation Models Directly on Human Brain Data

  • 将脑成像数据用于大模型训练,突破文本数据局限
  • 提出RLHB与CoTHB方法,高效利用有限脑数据
  • 适合关注认知科学与AI融合的科研人员

尽管基础模型在多个领域取得显著成果,仍依赖人类生成的数据(如文本)作为知识来源。但这些数据本质上是大脑神经复杂性的过滤投影。本文提出一种新策略:跳过表层统计规律,直接在人脑数据上训练基础模型。我们假设神经影像数据能揭示行为不可见的认知要素,并主张将其与传统数据结合,以克服当前基础模型的局限性。针对感知、评估、执行和整合四类认知层级,我们梳理了现有模型瓶颈及可利用的脑区与认知过程。提出两种方法——基于脑信号的强化学习(RLHB)和脑启发的思维链(CoTHB),以在有限脑数据条件下,战略性地提升关键训练步骤的效果。同时讨论了对智能体、人工通用智能及超智能的潜在影响,以及伦理、社会和技术挑战。我们认为,脑训练基础模型或将成为延续现有架构扩展与探索神经科学启发方案之间的现实有效折中路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

While foundation models have achieved remarkable results across a diversity of domains, they still rely on human-generated data, such as text, as a fundamental source of knowledge. However, this data is ultimately the product of human brains, the filtered projection of a deeper neural complexity. In this paper, we explore a new strategy for artificial intelligence: moving beyond surface-level statistical regularities by training foundation models directly on human brain data. We hypothesize that neuroimaging data could open a window into elements of human cognition that are not accessible through observable actions, and argue that this additional knowledge could be used, alongside classical training data, to overcome some of the current limitations of foundation models. While previous research has demonstrated the possibility to train classical machine learning or deep learning models on neural patterns, this path remains largely unexplored for high-level cognitive functions. Here, we classify the current limitations of foundation models, as well as the promising brain regions and cognitive processes that could be leveraged to address them, along four levels: perception, valuation, execution, and integration. Then, we propose two methods that could be implemented to prioritize the use of limited neuroimaging data for strategically chosen, high-value steps in foundation model training: reinforcement learning from human brain (RLHB) and chain of thought from human brain (CoTHB). We also discuss the potential implications for agents, artificial general intelligence, and artificial superintelligence, as well as the ethical, social, and technical challenges and opportunities. We argue that brain-trained foundation models could represent a realistic and effective middle ground between continuing to scale current architectures and exploring alternative, neuroscience-inspired solutions.
