Need advice for PhD in Neuroscience/CompNeuroscience

Dear all,

I am interested to pursue a PhD in neuroscience or in Computational Neuroscience.

I am specifically interested in pursuing a research topic relevant to speech decoding for the aphasia patients.

I would like to mention that I have BSc Comp science with majors in machine learning and about to complete my MSc in Applied mathematics

My thesis is on the classification of the single-molecule FRET traces with interpretable models

I dont have biology background and I need advice where should I start from I have 4+ years of experience as software engineer and have worked on various projects including mathematical simulations of the cancer cells as Random walk problem with markovian process.

Further, I have mathematical understanding of implementing the cryptographic algorithms and also worked on the implementation of the breaking of the asymmetric cryptographic systems.

I am confused should I pursue PhD in neuroscience or in computational neuroscience which will help me pursue the goal I have mentioned.

Also, I would like to mention I have really bad grades in my MSc as I transitioned form CS to Applied math and due to this my GPA is almost 2,7 German grade. Do I have any chance of getting in.
