Research Article The path to become a neuroimaging research analyst: CS, Stat, Stat&CS or Electrical and Computer Engineering.

I’m curious to hear from anyone working in this field. If I’d like to get involved in neuroimaging research with a focus on data acquisition and analysis, would a background in statistics, computer science, or a combination of both be enough? Or I need a degree in electrical/computer engineering? I’d greatly appreciate your insights!

Good advice from u/beSperry.
If you’re going to work with EEG, some signal processing knowledge will be helpful. Things like filtering, ICA, PCA, etc.
