Neural plasticity revealed in perceptual training of a Japanese adult listener to learn American/l-r/contrast: A whole-head magnetoencephalography study

摘要: In this study, behavioral and brain measures were taken to assess the effects of training a Japanese adult subject perceptually distinguish English/l/and. Behavioral data showed significant improvement in identifying both trained untrained speech stimuli. Correspondingly, neuromagnetic results enhanced mismatch field responses left hemisphere reduced activities right hemisphere. This pattern neural plasticity was not observed for truncated nonspeech
