I am in my fourth year of a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours). Under Dr Matthew Smout's supervision and Associate Professor Tobias Loetscher's co-supervision, my honours project focuses on the mammalian dive reflex and how that can help with social anxiety. The project investigates whether anxiety decreases due to cold water immersion as part of the mammalian dive reflex. I was inspired to do this project as it could determine if this treatment method could help reduce anxiety's physiological effects while also introducing a potential therapeutic approach for anxiety patients.
