Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Maegan Calvert's research focuses on understanding the psychological and neurobiological correlates of trauma, particularly in vulnerable populations such as incarcerated women and crime victims. Her work investigates the efficacy of therapeutic interventions, including exposure-based group therapy and real-time fMRI neurofeedback, for reducing psychiatric symptoms following experiences of sexual violence and maltreatment. Calvert's research also explores the neuroimaging correlates of psychological resilience and the long-term impacts of maltreatment.

She has published on topics including decreases in psychiatric symptoms following therapy for sexual violence victimization among incarcerated women and the neuroimaging correlates of psychological resilience. Calvert has also contributed to discussions on the transition to open and reproducible science within neuroimaging research centers. Her work involves collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Melissa J. Zielinski, Keith Bush, Tatiana Wolfe, and G. Andrew James.
