Who can tell me if this sentence is grammatically correct? is it an appositive clause or not?
"Scientists have found a promising alternative to fear aversion therapy that involves using brain scanning technology and artificial intelligence to create “decoded neurofeedback”, a method that essentially erases the fearful memories from one’s mind without needing to evoke them, making it less traumatizing for people who don’t wish to relive their fears through aversion therapy."
In my opinion, the first half of the sentence is an attributive clause, while the second half, starting from "a method..." is an appositive clause, describing the the aversion therapy.
