How do you feel your daily neuroscience work is more interesting to you than your previous EE work?
The brain fascinates me and sometimes I think of a similar change.
I'm working to develop novel brain recording technologies to create brain machine interfaces. I get to use all of my EE background, but apply it to problems at the interface of basic neuroscience and medicine.
My goal is to develop better neural interface technologies to both learn about how the brain works, and also to deliver therapies for patients with conditions like paralysis or psychiatric disorders.

to answer more specifically, the pivot from EE to neuroscience was motivated by the applications. I felt as a EE that I had a lot of tools in search of an application I really cared about. In industry, I was frequently applying those skills to disparate problems, but without a long term aim I was highly motivated to pursue.
