I will just add that for your interests and background you might want to
check out the MNE project:

https://www.martinos.org/mne/stable/index.html

If you are interested in finding a place to start contributing, the "easy"
tag in their issues might be a good place to look for things you can start
doing to get acquainted with the project:

is%3Aissue+label%3AEASY

Best,

Ariel
