I don't see any mathematics nor psychics books. During the first two years of our 5 year ECE degree we mainly did theoretical courses. Some examples: single variable analysis, multi variable analysis, differential equations, arithmetic analysis, algebra, mechanics, electronagnetism, waves.

All these were full semester courses. These courses were actually needed if somebody wanted to properly understand the whole theory of electrical engineering (signals, em transmission, antennas, microwaves, optical fibers, theory of electronics, electrical machines, electric power systems, etc).

Depending on which subject you want to focus on you may not need all these mathematics and physics but your will definitely need some theoretic knowledge to actually understand it!

This gentleman has an applied mathematics degree. So he lacks only physics. To work on that brain computer interface this gentleman needs basic chemistry and basic biology. For interaction on that interface solid understanding of analog electronics is needed. These topics aren’t trivial, I wish good look and strong motivation during this few year long journey.
