Thoroughman graduated with a Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University in 1999, completing a thesis in the Laboratory of Computational Motor Control, under the mentorship of Reza Shadmehr. After completion of his Doctor of Philosophy, Thoroughman was a postdoctoral fellow with Eve Marder at Brandeis University.
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.
