Figures

Experimental design and rationale of the study.

Panels A and B illustrate the contrast between functor-initial and functor-final word order in Spanish and Basque, as well as its consequences on their prosodic structure. Panels C and D show the …

Figure 2 with 2 supplements
Sensor-level topography and time course of neural responses to omitted sounds across groups and conditions.

(A) shows the temporal unfolding and topographical distribution of the overall effect of omission (omissions minus tones). Channels belonging to the significant cluster are highlighted. (B) shows …

Figure 2—figure supplement 1
Early neural response to omitted sounds.

Panel A shows the temporal unfolding and topographical distribution of the second cluster that emerged from the comparisons between omissions vs tones. Channels belonging to the significant cluster …

Figure 2—figure supplement 2
Effects of omission type and language background.

Panel A shows the event-related fields (ERFs) and topographies reflecting the main effect of omission type, with omissions of long auditory events generating larger omission mismatch negativity …

Source activity underlying the omission response network and long-term predictions.

Panel A shows brain maps representing the ratio of source activity of tone to the omission (neural activity index, NAI = SOmission/STone) over the 0.100–0.250 s time window. Panel B shows the source …
