Steve Helms Tillery is a neuroscientist at ASU who is particularly interested in how the brain learns to use sensory information in the control of skilled motor tasks. As an undergraduate, Steve studied psychology at ASU while on a music scholarship. He then moved to the University of Minnesota to study neuroscience under John Soechting and Tim Ebner, where he examined sensory processes underlying kinesthesia of the arm. He followed this with a post-doctoral fellowship at SUNY Health Science Center in Syracuse under Peter Strick, working on cognitive processing in basal ganglia and cerebellum. Eventually he returned to ASU to study neuroprosthetics with Andrew Schwartz. He has remained as a faculty member at ASU, where he uses neuroprosthetics as a novel test-bed to examine neural mechanisms underlying sensorimotor integration. In his field, he participates in studies using both nonhuman and human subjects, and is particularly concerned in seeing that these resources are used in a responsible manner. He is also intrigued to know how ethicists can contribute to determining how those resources can be marshaled to direct research in a way that provides value to society.
