This study examines how bilingual exposure and sex influence neural speech encoding development in infants, finding distinct patterns in pitch and formant encoding over the first year.

The paper tracks neural encoding of speech-sound features in infants from birth to 12 months, showing rapid maturation of temporal fine structure encoding within the first six months.

The paper examines how maternal speech exposure during pregnancy affects neonatal speech sound encoding, finding differences in neural responses between monolingual and bilingual exposure.
