This project is investigating the role of subcortical and cortical neurological structure and encoding of speech signals in the successful differentiation and learning of non-native phonetic cues. It is hypothesized that individual variances in that encoding can impact and predict success in learning new phonological contrasts (i.e. subtle differences in vowel sounds, voiced and unvoiced stops, intonation, etc.) and thereby predict success in new language acquisition.
