About me

Loreen Tisdall

My research focuses primarily on trying to understand individual differences in risk taking. I am particularly interested in how differences in brain function and structure contribute to and potentially drive individual differences in risk taking. For this I use neuroimaging methods, in particular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

I am also interested in other aspects of risk taking, including measurement convergence, developmental trajectories (especially across the adult human life span), and the extent to which we find (a)symmetry between self- and other-reported risk taking.
