The five myths of MMN: redefining how to use MMN in basic and clinical research
The goal of this review article is to redefine what the mismatch negativity (MMN) component
of event-related potentials reflects in auditory scene analysis, and to provide an overview of …

The functional neuroanatomy of lexical tone perception: an activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis
In tonal language such as Chinese, lexical tone serves as a phonemic feature in
determining word meaning. Meanwhile, it is close to prosody in terms of suprasegmental …

When does native language input affect phonetic perception? The precocious case of lexical tone
Previous studies have suggested that the perception of vowels and consonants changes
from language-universal to language-specific between 6 and 12months of age. This report …
