About me
I write about the limitations of human cognition, such as faulty reasoning, delusions, confabulations, irrational beliefs, poor knowledge of the self, distorted memories, unreliable self narratives, and attitude/behaviour inconsistencies.
In addition, I am interested in exploring the ethical issues emerging from the contributions of science to society and I focus on the ethics of biomedical research and reproduction.
At the University of Birmingham, I am an active member of the Health and Happiness Research Cluster. If you want to know more about my current projects, see my website or follow me on Twitter (@lisabortolotti).
