Biography

Anahita received her BSc in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology from the University of Mumbai. She completed her MSc in Audiological Science at University College London and earned her PhD in Auditory Neuroscience from the same institution in 2015. Following her doctoral studies, Anahita underwent postdoctoral training at the University of Minnesota. In 2019, after completing her training, she continued her work there as a research associate. Anahita's research primarily focuses on the perception and neural representation of pitch properties in normal-hearing listeners, aiming to understand the limitations of pitch perception, particularly in individuals with cochlear implants. She employs behavioral and neurophysiological measures, including EEG and fMRI, to probe neural encoding of pitch, context effects, and the impact of hearing loss on auditory processing.
