MMN elicited by the native word was greater than that elicited by the non-native word. Hearing a native-language deviant significantly altered the elicited MMN in both amplitude and scalp voltage field distribution, reflecting the presence of a long-term memory trace for spoken words in tonal languages.Mahidol UniversityArts and HumanitiesBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyNeurosciencePreattentive Processing of Lexical Tone Perception by the Human Brain as Indexed by the Mismatch Negativity ParadigmConference PaperSCOPUS10.1196/annals.1284.029
