Neuroscience is fascinating, well at least the part about image processing, but it's also completely inaccessible. From computer science and programming we are use to having introduction available in the form of articles, videos and cheap training. For Neuroscience it's just straight up hard-mode and you don't know any of the words. I still not even completely sure what a brain atlas is.

I've seen a few free university courses, but they fill up almost immediately.

YT, for example, contains many resources on brain anatomy and more. Plus, for example, the lessons from Robert Sapolsky at Stanford.

Plus, there exist the primer books from Rita Carter (first of all, Mapping the Mind).

There are loads of good material around. Note though, that CS is "forward" engineering, while Brain Science is backward engineering. So, if you do not find material that build from the ground up... it is easily because we are not at that level.

This is decent. https://www.edx.org/xseries/harvardx-fundamentals-of-neurosc...

Comparable to the intro biological psychology course I took in college. It's free if you don't care about certificate.
