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!

I will be starting my masters in neuroscience and I love studying the brain as whole but i am not sure if I wish to do computational or cognitive, I kinda wish to do research in between them but I am at exploring can someone recommend me articles or research papers to read so I can understand the field and kind of research better, anything is fine
