Bilingual experience influences brain responses during language processing, especially in attention-related oscillations.
Bilinguals showed stronger alpha suppression while listening to unfamiliar language, indicating increased attention demands.
Greater exposure to non-English languages correlated with higher theta power during familiar language processing.
No significant changes were found in gamma or delta power, emphasizing the unique role of alpha and theta bands in speech perception.
