Afagh Farhadi builds computational models of how the auditory system processes sound, focusing on the inner ear (cochlea) and brainstem/midbrain pathways, including how the brain's feedback ('efferent') signals adjust the ear's sensitivity to sound level and background noise. This work aims to explain phenomena like forward masking, noise interference, and hearing loss effects using simulations compared against physiological and perceptual data. The research is intended to improve understanding of hearing difficulties, including age-related and noise-induced hearing loss.

Publication output has grown steadily over the last decade, rising from no publications in the late 2010s to a consistent output of 3-5 papers per year since 2022.
