Coulter BME Associate Professor Zachary Danziger studies how the nervous system directs these processes and what happens when those signals break down. His lab combines artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and engineering to develop new ways to study brain-computer interfaces and understand conditions such as underactive bladder. Through collaborations spanning multiple disciplines, Danziger\u0027s team is uncovering insights that could lead to improved treatments and technologies for restoring lost function.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003ERead the full story to explore the research, challenges, and collaborations driving these discoveries: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/bme.gatech.edu\/news\/bodys-hidden-signals\u0022\u003EThe Body\u0027s Hidden Signals\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"Zachary Danziger wants to know how the nervous system controls the body."}],"field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cdiv\u003EHow does the nervous system tell the body what to do?
