I want to work on merging computers with brains. Like having a smartphone in your head, so basically a computer inside your head. However, I don't know what field this is and how to get a career in it. Every news site I read refers to the people working on this as "research scientists". Who are they?
Is a computer science degree enough? Is it biotech?
To be more specific, I want to work towards implanting chips inside our brains and having a port on our head. With which we plug a cable into it and transfer data to and from a computer. Eventually putting our entire brain onto a chip, that could then be transferred to another (metal?) body. This could be used for astronauts, and insurance against brain damaged victims.
I don't want to be some disposable codemonkey.
Do I have to fucking start a start-up?

neuroscience is also a must

Computer Science, Neurobiology, Neuroscience, Electronics Engineering and Computer Engineering is the bare minimum. Probably add Psychology and Biochemistry in the mix as well.
And yes, you'll have to start a startup if you're going to sell that tech.
Oh, and research scientists are a team, with each person specializing in a field.

That is basically turning normal people into botnets. Not a good idea.

Get a degree in electrical engineering, take a bunch of neuroscience classes, get a phd, pursue an academic career. Then maybe in 50 years you can manage to work on such a thing. Because the state of BCI is currently nowhere near doing that.
