In this episode of Holy Shift! Biomedical Breakthroughs Shaping Tomorrow, host Angela Gill Nelms talks with Dr. Garrett Stanley, a professor of biomedical engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University, about the search to decode the electrical signals that drive movement, memory, perception, and decision-making, and how that knowledge could transform the future of medicine. \n\nOne of the most striking ideas is that future treatments for neurological disorders may combine medicine, brain implants, and intelligent software that can adapt as a person's brain changes over time. Garrett Stanley explains how technologies like deep brain stimulation are already changing lives and why understanding the brain's signals is the key to making these treatments even more effective. \n\nYou'll also hear why many of science's biggest breakthroughs begin with unexpected results, and how recognizing the significance of a surprising finding can change the course of research. \nAlthough Garrett Stanley fainted the first time seeing a real human brain, the experience left him fascinated by the complexity of the organ that stores our memories, dreams, and sense of self, inspiring a career devoted to understanding how it works.\nLearn More About Garrett Stanley:\nGarrett Stanley's Website\nGarrett Stanley's Linkedin\nMentioned in Today’s Episode:\nhttps://parkinsons.gatech.edu/\nSupport Tomorrow’s Breakthroughs – Donate Today: \nIf you want to support the research you heard about on today’s episode, consider a donation to the Wallace H.
