What has emerged is less a grand unified theory of how a creative idea originates and unfolds in the brain and more an ever-growing list of powerful observations. We can first divide the human creative process into phases, including an ideation or proposal step, followed by a more critical and evaluative step that looks for merit in ideas. A leading theory on what guides these two phases is called the associative theory of creativity, which posits that the most creative people can form novel con

How does the human brain process natural language during everyday conversations? Theoretically, large language models (LLMs) and symbolic psycholinguistic models of human language provide a fundamentally different computational framework for coding natural language. Large language models do not depend on symbolic parts of speech or syntactic rules. Instead, they utilize simple self-supervised objectives, such as next-word prediction and generation enhanced by reinforcement learning. This allows
