PhD in Statistics as a Path to Research in Computational Neuroscience?

Hi all,

I am an undergraduate majoring in statistics. Due to my socio-economic background, I am thinking about pursuing a PhD in Statistics because I have seen more job listings asking for that. But my true passion is in computational neuroscience, so I am wondering… is there anyone here with a PhD in Statistics that does research in computational neuroscience? And if so, how should I go about getting a PhD in Statistics while preparing myself for research in computational neuroscience?

Thank you,
Sebastian
