#3For the residents that quit jobs in industry to do this program, what's next for them? How many residents are converting to permanent employees?

#4Wonder how research this is, what if people are looking for more engineering oriented experience?

A resident sounds very much like a post doc in the academic world.

It is a very research-oriented experience, but you can definitely frame your work as more engineering-intensive. Quite a few of the residents have done some more really impressive engineering feats in the research domain.

The current group doesn't end until at least June and so, except for those who just applied to grad schools, we're all continuing to do more awesome research here rather than starting to solidify what comes next.
That being said, this is an unparalleled experience in the field and a phenomenal road to travel regardless of what we decide to do afterward.

This made me wonder how well they pay, but there is no mention of money anywhere, which maybe makes it _more_ academic than a post-doc :o.

While a different program, Google's Engineering Residency reportedly pays about $100k, depending on location. I would imagine that the Brain Residency pays something comparable.

#10The wide array of topics studied by residents reflects the diversity of the residents themselves — some come to the program as new graduates with degrees ranging from BAs to Ph.Ds in computer science to physics and mathematics to biology and neuroscience, while other residents come with years of industry experience under their belts
