Welcome to my GitHub repository! This is a personal hub where I share my projects, experiments, and interests in neuroscience, data science, bio-inspired design, etc.
I’m Elnaz Alikarami, a Neuroscience Researcher & Data Enthusiast, with a strong interest in computational neuroscience. I previously worked on human brain imaging and now focus on data management and research coordination in neuroscience labs. I enjoy bridging experimental and computational approaches, building efficient systems for scientific data, and exploring how smart data practices can accelerate discovery in brain research.
