I study Mechatronics, but my dream is actually getting into brain-computer interfaces. I think that's more electronics, but I'm such a newbie that I have no clue what I should really study (probably takes a good chunk of neuroscience as well...). Now, don't ask me how, but I got stuck in mechatronics and finished my first semester there of the 1st year, and currently at the second semester.
My question is am I taking the right course having chosen mechatronics, or should I look at switching to focus solely on electronics? I thought that mechatronics sounded like an all-encompassing field, which is why I like it...but still, part of me wants to focus in the area of my dream.
I'd like to add that I'm a huge fan of what they do in Emotiv Systems-- to quote from wiki-- "electronics company developing brain–computer interfaces based on electroencephalography (EEG) technology". So, dear advisors, comparing my dream and what I study...am I doing the right thing?
