Rodrigo Miranda Riveros received his PhD in Psychology from USC. He is a neuroscientist who combines neuroimaging, behavioral and interview data to investigate how adolescents formulate life goals that are based on youth’s core values and that seek to transform the world. Using a mixed-methods approach, Riveros examines how the articulation of value-based life goals relate to the function of neural systems that are critical for processing basic rewards, such as food and sex. In addition, Riveros investigates how the formulation of value-based goals can be supported by intergenerational storytelling, using a well-controlled art-based psychological intervention that promotes reflecting on life narratives and shared values. Riveros is a psychologist from the Universidad de Chile, and holds a master’s degree in Cognitive Neuropsychology and Rehabilitation from the University of Birmingham (UK).
