“…However, when their second language was the target, they were forced to pay attention to both types of deviants in order to determine which language each word belonged to. This observed pattern provided a way to examine the interaction between two languages in early bilinguals who learned both of their languages at an early age, and knew a third language less well (Pihko et al, 2002). Participants were nonetheless required to indicate which was their 'best' or L1 language.…”

In this review we show how magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a constructive tool for language research and review MEG findings in second language (L2) research. MEG is the magnetic analog of electroencephalography (EEG), and its primary advantage over other cross-sectional (e.g. magnetic resonance imaging, or positron emission tomography) functional imaging methods is the superior temporal resolution it affords. After an overview of MEG technology, research exploring visual language processing in L2, nonnative phonemic contrasts and syntactic processing in L2 are reviewed. We also review MEG investigations of the advantages of bilingualism and of language lateralization differences across languages with different characteristics.
