Thomas Andrew Deuel, MD, PhD

Dr. Thomas Deuel received his B.A. in Molecular Biology from Princeton University; after initially concentrating in Music Composition. He received both an M.D. and a Ph.D. in Neurobiology from Harvard University; where his doctoral dissertation focused on genetics and neurophysiology of cortical development. In parallel; he studied ja composition and performance at New England Conservatory in Boston. He did a residency in Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital; and fellowships in Neurophysiology at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston and the University of Washington. His post-doctoral research focused on complex sound and music processing in the human cortex. He also brings several years of practice as a sound artist; making site-specific sound installations; interactive music devices; and sound sculptures. His current work involves development of a brain-music interface; using thought control of the subject to create music compositions without movement. He is currently on medical staff at Swedish Hospital as a practicing neurologist; and an epilepsy and EEG specialist.
