大型语言模型(LLMs)与人类高级认知神经机制之间的对应关系尚未充分阐明。鉴于语言与推理在人脑中可分离,一个开放性问题是:LLMs 是否与推理相关脑区的神经信号对齐?这些信号能否改进模型?本文聚焦演绎推理,发现LLM内部表征不仅部分匹配任务型fMRI活动,还可被这些信号直接增强。通过神经预测性度量,我们发现LLM在整体层面解释了推理相关区域可观的可解释方差,但特定推理类型内的预测性较低,表明存在对齐与差异并存。基于此,我们提出一种脑引导框架:沿着模型与脑表征联合结构的方向干预,在推理时进行引导,并在训练中微调。结果表明,任务诱发的脑信号可直接提升LLM推理性能,在10个不同规模的LLM(1.5B-72B)上获得超越纯语言监督的增益,跨推理类型具有迁移性,最高达13%的绝对准确率提升。研究将LLM-脑对应关系从相关推进到引导,建立了一条由脑信号驱动的更鲁棒、更符合认知的AI发展路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The correspondence between large language models (LLMs) and the neural mechanisms underlying human higher-order cognition remains insufficiently characterized. Given that language and reasoning in the human brain appear dissociable, an open question is whether LLMs align with neural signals from reasoning-related regions and whether such signals can improve them. Here, focusing on deductive reasoning, we show that LLM internal representations are not only partially aligned with task-fMRI activity but can also be directly enhanced by these signals. Using a neural-predictivity metric, we find that LLMs explain a substantial fraction of the explainable variance in reasoning-related regions at the aggregate level, whereas predictivity within specific reasoning types is lower, indicating both alignment and divergence. Building on this, we propose a brain-guided framework: we steer model representations along directions induced by the joint structure of model and brain representations, applying intervention at inference and fine-tuning during training. We demonstrate that task-evoked brain signals can directly enhance LLM reasoning, yielding gains orthogonal to language-only supervision across 10 LLMs (1.5B-72B), with transfer across reasoning types and up to 13\% absolute accuracy gain. Our results advance LLM-brain correspondences from correlation to guidance, establishing a brain-signal-driven pathway toward more robust and cognitively aligned AI.
