From Quant to BCI: A 2025 Self-Learning Roadmap
2025-06-14
A seasoned engineer with a background in quantitative finance and software development is transitioning into the exciting field of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). He's embarked on a 12-24 month self-learning journey, structured around three phases: foundational hardware (building a digital clock, amplifying bioelectric signals), intermediate systems (analog/digital radio, FPGA-based signal processing), and advanced topics (closed-loop neural stimulation, wireless data transfer). This ambitious plan combines self-study, hands-on projects, and community engagement, aiming to eventually secure a role in academia, a startup, or industry within the BCI space.
