The Phonological Mapping Negativity (PMN) is not phonology-specific: Sensitivity to speaker voice mismatch

Key Points

• The phonological mapping negativity indicates a neural response not limited to phonology.
• Sensitivity to speaker voice mismatch highlights broader cognitive processes in auditory perception.
• Observational analysis examines event-related potentials in response to auditory stimuli.
• These findings suggest that mechanisms for speech processing are more flexible than previously thought.
