ThinkNeuro is an education platform building the future of early-stage research in neuroscience and computer science through AI-supported learning experiences. We empower students with access to research internships, certification programs, and mentorship.

Our programs welcome motivated high school, undergraduate, and post-baccalaureate students from the U.S. and abroad. No prior research or coding experience is required, as we teach the fundamentals before project work begins.

Each program includes a preparatory academy, project-based research or coding experience, and a final symposium. Students work in small groups guided by our undergraduate associates and project managers, under the broader mentorship of faculty and advisors.

 The BRI is a 10-week virtual research internship where students learn R programming, data visualization, and bibliometric analysis to explore global research trends in neuroscience, medicine, and public health.

 Interns produce an abstract, research poster, and oral presentation. Projects are presented at the ThinkNeuro Symposium, featuring professors and industry researchers as keynote speakers and judges. Exceptional projects may be considered for external publication opportunities at the discretion of the ThinkNeuro advisory board and donors.

Our mentors and faculty instructors come from the Harvard-MIT ecosystem, USC, and other top institutions. They lead live masterclasses on bibliometric analysis, abstract writing, and poster design. Senior deans and faculty also join our symposium panels for fireside chats, Q&A sessions, and project judging. Meanwhile, each program is supported day-to-day by a team of undergraduate coordinators, product managers, and research associates who guide students through every stage of their project helping keep the program accessible and affordable.

Alumni have been accepted to top institutions such as Harvard, Brown PLME, Johns Hopkins BME, and Stanford, and many have gone on to join university research labs, selective research programs at MIT, and competitive pre-professional fellowships.

Yes. Students earn an official ThinkNeuro Research or Computer Science Certification upon successful completion of their program.

 Absolutely. Students gain tangible experience, project deliverables, and professional mentorship that demonstrate initiative and real-world problem-solving of which are qualities highly valued in college and future internship applications.

 Applications are submitted online and reviewed on a rolling basis. Selected applicants are invited to register before the upcoming cohort deadline.

Students typically dedicate 3-5 hours per week, which include a mix of live and pre-recorded academy sessions, mentorship meetings, and group project work before the final symposium.

Tuition covers all instructional materials, mentorship, access to the ThinkNeuro AI Suite, and an official program certification. Specific tuition amounts vary by program and are listed on each program’s information page

The ThinkNeuro CS/AI research internship introduces students to full-stack development, data science, and applied artificial intelligence through hands-on, project-based learning. Students design and build real-world applications (e.g. chatbots, health-tech dashboards) with guidance from ThinkNeuro’s undergraduate product managers and associates, who support students through each project milestone. Industry engineers and developers from companies such as NVIDIA, Apple, and Uber also contribute technical mentorship, fireside chats, and feedback during the symposium

No. The first three weeks of the program focus on fundamentals in Python, front-end web development, and AI concepts. Students then apply these skills to collaborative projects under mentorship.

Each team develops and presents a functional prototype or AI application aligned with ThinkNeuro’s mission of combining technology, neuroscience, and public impact. Final projects are showcased at the ThinkNeuro Symposium and reviewed by engineers from NVIDIA, Apple, and Uber, alongside academic mentors and donors.
