# ABDN Fellowship 2026 Cohort Repository
## 🧠 Overview
Welcome to the **ABDN Fellowship 2026 Participant Repository**.
This repository serves as the central workspace for:
* Lecture materials
* Assignments and exercises
* Participant submissions
* Final research outputs
It is designed to support a **structured, hands-on learning experience** across multiple neuroimaging and neuroscience modalities.
---
## 🔬 Modalities
Participants will engage in one or more of the following tracks:
* **EEG (Electroencephalography)**
* **MRI / fMRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging / Functional MRI)**
* **Electrophysiology**
* **fNIRS (Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy)**
Each modality follows a consistent progression:
> Foundations → Data Acquisition → Data Analysis → Scientific Writing → Final Project
