Figure 7.

Brainstem encoding of the fundamental frequency (F0) the Mandarin syllable /mi/ with a “dipping” (tone 3) pitch contour. The F0 contour of the syllable is shown by the thin black line, and the trajectory of FFR periodicity is shown by the yellow line. Relative to pretraining (left panel), the post-training FFR in the same participant (right panel) shows more faithful tracking of time-varying F0 contour of the syllable. Data from a representative participant from Song et al. (2008). Reproduced with permission.
