- 요약Understanding people's thoughts and feelings is fundamental to humans, yet the neurocomputational mechanisms underlying social cognition remain challenging to study with conventional methods. Recent research has highlighted the power of deep neural networks (DNNs) and their vast potential in brain sciences, such as in unraveling how the brain processes visual and language information. Advances in deep learning, particularly in multimodal models, have created an unprecedented opportunity for social neuroscience: vision-language models often demonstrate human-like social cognitive abilities, providing a powerful new tool to investigate the computational strategies that support social cognition, and to compare such strategies in models to those in the human brain. In this dissertation, I review DNNs' unique contributions to human brain research, and explore how similar DNN-based approaches can be extended to social cognition. Through two empirical studies along this line, I seek to demonstrate: 1) similarities and differences between the attentional patterns in a vision-language transformer model and in human overt attention, and 2) a decoding pipeline that reconstructs the stimuli experienced by humans based on their neural activity recorded while either viewing visual stimuli or listening to auditory stimuli. Importantly, while past research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and brain research mostly focused on single modalities (e.g., vision or language), this work undertakes a novel investigation into the abstract, modality-independent processes in both DNNs and the human brain. As such, this dissertation lays the groundwork for a new methodological framework in social neuroscience by demonstrating how the computational power of deep neural networks can be effectively harnessed to study social and other high-level processes in the brain.
