“…The MMN component is based on an oddball paradigm, where a deviant stimulus is interspersed among frequent standard stimuli, and signals the brain’s automatic reaction to deviations in auditory input at around 100–250 ms after divergence point and with a fronto-central scalp distribution ( Näätänen et al, 1978 , 2007 ). The MMN response successfully indicates neural correlates of both low-level acoustic and high-level cognitive processing associated with prosodic information (e.g., Näätänen et al, 1978 ; Honbolygó et al, 2004 , 2020 ; Weber et al, 2004 ; Friederici et al, 2007 ; Zora et al, 2015 , 2016a , b , 2019 , 2020 ; Garami et al, 2017 ). Previous research indicated MMN activation to linguistic prosody change in Swedish words that are distinguished on the sole basis of pitch accent, fasen 1 “the phase” and fasen 2 “expletive,” reflecting the activation of different lexical items in the brain based on prosody ( Zora et al, 2020 ).…”
