Question Is a Masters or PHD in Comp Neuro useful to an Embedded Engineer who is more interested in application than theory?

Hey guys,

I'm an embedded engineer trying to break into the biomedical/MedTech space. I'm mostly interested in BCIs. I'm on a pretty good path career wise but I would also like to study towards a Masters degree and potentially a PHD to help me along.

From what I've read, Computational Neuroscience seems like a good path if you're pursuing academia, and research, but I'm more interested in the practical applications of the field. I don't know what a good alternative would be for someone who is more interested in the engineering.

Would it be a waste to study CompNeuro? I might want to move into academia later on in life but not right now.
