ThinkNeuro is an education platform advancing early-stage research in neuroscience, computer science, and business analytics. Interns produce real deliverables such as research posters and technical demos that are judged by faculty from Harvard Engineering and physicians at Stanford Medicine, making them viable to submit to national conferences.

ThinkNeuro welcomes motivated high school, undergraduate, and post-baccalaureate students from the U.S. and abroad. No prior experience is required.

The SRIP features a preparatory academy, project-based research or coding experience, and a final symposium, with students working in small groups guided by undergraduate associates and project managers. Faculty from Harvard Engineering and physicians from Stanford Medicine deliver weekly lectures and judge the final symposium.

Track 1 is a 10-week virtual research internship where students learn R programming, data visualization, and bibliometric analysis to explore global research trends in neuroscience and medicine.

Interns produce an abstract, research poster, and oral presentation showcased at the ThinkNeuro symposium. Interns have gone on to successfully submit their final ThinkNeuro posters to presentation venues at Harvard, Stanford, UPenn, Columbia, Brown, and more.

Mentors come from the Harvard–MIT ecosystem, Stanford, USC, and other top institutions, leading lectures and symposium sessions alongside full-time coordinators and research associates.

The program introduces students to full-stack development, data science, and applied artificial intelligence through hands-on, project-based learning.

No. The first three weeks include an introductory Git Academy that focuses on fundamentals in Python, front-end web development, and AI concepts.

Teams develop functional prototypes showcased at the final demo day and poster symposium with software engineer judges from OpenAI, Google, and Duolingo.

ThinkNeuro alumni have earned 100+ Ivy League and Top 20 acceptances in the Class of 2026 - including Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, UPenn, Cornell, Brown PLME, and Johns Hopkins BME. Beyond admissions, alumni present their research at national conferences (Brown, Stanford, Columbia, and UPenn), win merit scholarships such as the Posse Foundation and American Psychological Foundation awards, and secure paid research positions at university labs like Cedars-Sinai.

Yes. Students earn an official ThinkNeuro Research or Computer Science Certification upon successful completion. Track 1 (Neuroscience Bibliometrics) interns also receive a separate certificate for R programming.

Yes. Students gain tangible experience and deliverables demonstrating initiative and problem-solving that are valued in college admissions and internship applications.

Students on the Intensive Track typically dedicate 5-10 hours per week, combining academy sessions, mentorship, and project work.

Tuition covers all instructional materials, mentorship, integrated access to the ThinkNeuro AI Suite, and an official program certification. The Regular Track is $295 and does not include faculty, physician, or engineer mentorship. The Intensive Track is $895 and includes everything: the lectures and symposium judging by faculty from Harvard Engineering and physicians at Stanford Medicine.

Faculty include professors, physicians, engineers, and researchers from top institutions and companies such as Harvard, MIT, USC, Stanford Medicine, Google, and OpenAI.

Each student joins a small cohort with undergraduate associates providing day-to-day support, while faculty host live lectures and guest speaker sessions. For the Intensive Track, faculty also judge symposium posters.

Faculty and industry experts serve as judges, keynote speakers, and fireside chat hosts for student presentations, ensuring posters and demos are viable for professional conference submission after ThinkNeuro.
