Congratulations to Nathan Boyle on his first co-authored peer-reviewed paper!

Congrats to Nathan on his first co-authored peer-reviewed paper!


Nathan’s interest in neuropsychiatry and neurological disorders led him to working as a research assistant at COACH, where he has been since Fall 2020. As a research assistant, he was responsible for processing and analyzing data used in the paper using MATLAB.

The study investigates the possibility of utilizing virtual reality (VR) as a part of exposure based cognitive behavioral therapy for patients with specific phobias. The paper provides novel evidence that VR is an effective and feasible method for delivering evidence-based CBT.
