Do Language Models Align with Brains? Prediction Scores Are Not Enough

ArXi:2605.14025v1 Announce Type: cross Brain-language model comparisons often interpret neural prediction scores as evidence that model representations capture brain-relevant language computation. We asked whether language models align with brains, and whether prediction scores are enough to that claim, using L-PACT, a source-audited framework that evaluates predictive, relational, mechanism-stripping, and reliability-bounded evidence.
