听觉脑干中的音高神经编码是由长期的语言经验塑造的。本文的目的是确定这种经验依赖效应在多大程度上是特定于特定语言的。对普通话和泰语音调的脑干反应的方差分析表明，无论语言身份如何，音调跟踪的准确性在两个音调语言组（汉语，泰语）中高于非音调语言组（英语），并且音调强度为40 ms的音调部分通常在音调中相对于非音调语言更稳健。音调部分的判别分析，定义的方向和程度的变化的斜率，表明，适度的上升音高是最重要的变量分类的英语，中国和泰国的参与者到各自的群体。我们的结论是，依赖于语言的增强音高表示转移到其他语言具有类似的音韵系统。从神经生物学的角度来看，这些研究结果表明，脑干的神经机制调整处理音高尺寸是感知显着的，取决于一种语言的旋律模式。
Neural encoding of pitch in the auditory brainstem is shaped by long-term experience with language. The aim herein was to determine to what extent this experience-dependent effect is specific to a particular language. Analysis of variance of brainstem responses to Mandarin and Thai tones revealed that regardless of language identity, pitch-tracking accuracy of whole tones was higher in the two tone language groups (Chinese, Thai) compared to the non-tone language group (English), and that pitch strength of 40-ms tonal sections was generally more robust in tone relative to non-tone languages. Discriminant analysis of tonal sections, as defined by variation in direction and degree of slope, showed that moderate rising pitch was the most important variable for classifying English, Chinese, and Thai participants into their respective groups. We conclude that language-dependent enhancement of pitch representation transfers to other languages with similar phonological systems. From a neurobiological perspective, these findings suggest that neural mechanisms local to the brainstem are tuned for processing pitch dimensions that are perceptually salient depending upon the melodic patterns of a language.
