首先阐述韵律加工的神经机制的相关假说,然后从情感韵律的知觉和产生两方面,回顾大脑半球在情感韵律加工中的单侧化优势的相关研究。大多数研究表明,情感韵律的加工主要在右半球,此外,皮层下组织在情感韵律产生和知觉中起着重要作用。

First of all, the article described four main hypotheses related to the neurological mechanism of prosody processing. Then it reviewed the researches related to the asymmetry of brain during the process of affective prosody, based on production and perception they concerned.
