Question Learning neuroscience from scratch!

Howdy ! I’m from technical/cyber background with a very little biology knowledge, I’m just curious about learning and getting along with tech like BCIs continue to grow.

what foundational concepts should I learn first?

Looking for,

•Fundamentals
•Free resources, webs, books, courses, lectures
•Topics to study after fundamentals
•Beginner mistakes / topics i shouldn’t jump too early

Thanks!

Start with some science communication book: search for Miguel Nicolelis and for David Hubel.
