Kurt A. Thoroughman (born 31 January 1972) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. He is known for his work in the study of motor control, motor learning, and computational neuroscience.
Thoroughman investigates how humans plan, control, and learn new movements. Understanding normal motor behavior and its neural basis will further the development of insightful clinical tests in movement neurology, and facilitate the early detection and treatment of motor diseases.
Thoroughman graduated with a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University in 1999. After completion of his PhD, Thoroughman worked in a two year postdoctoral position with Eve Marder at Brandeis University.
