    About

    Dr. Mehta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, and is based at the Kresge Hearing Research Institute. She is also affiliated with the Neuroscience Graduate Program, the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Michigan Neuroscience Institute. Anahita received her BSc in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology at the University of Mumbai. She completed her MSc in Audiological Science at University College London and her PhD in Auditory Neuroscience at University College London, UK in 2015. She did her postdoctoral training at the University of Minnesota in Dr. Andrew Oxenham's lab. In 2019, after completing her training, she continued at the University of Minnesota as a research associate.

    Research Overview

    Dr. Mehta's research investigates questions related to pitch perception, perceptual bias, context effects and the effects of hearing loss on auditory perception. She uses behavioral and neurophysiological measures (EEG and fMRI) to understand on the perception and neural representation of pitch and its various properties in normal-hearing listeners as well as understanding the limitations of pitch perception in listeners with hearing loss and users of cochlear implants (CI).
