Auditory cortical activation, maximal at about 100 ms after stimulus onset, was stronger in the right hemisphere (RH) for all stimuli. At 175-225 ms, Swedish speaking subjects had larger inter-hemispheric differences and different signal morphology in the RH than Finnish speaking subjects, suggesting that linguistic background influences basic auditory processes. Possibly, Swedish speaking subjects had retained a juvenile response component due to their bilingual surrounding after early childhood.
