The emergence of marks a pivotal shift in neuroscience, moving away from classic computational neuroscience toward a field that integrates large-scale data analytics with brain research. Neural Data Science: A Primer with MATLAB and Python , authored by Erik Lee Nylen and Pascal Wallisch , serves as a foundational guide for this transition. Bridging the Language Gap
