Add Hands-on Neuroscience

[cYoren]

https://github.com/cYoren/awesome-hands-on-neuroscience

Hands-on Neuroscience is a curated collection of 15 runnable Jupyter notebooks and reference resources that teach computational neuroscience methods end-to-end — from spiking neural networks and whole-brain modeling to MRI/fMRI/MEG analysis and deep learning on brain data. It complements the existing Awesome Neuroscience (a tools/libraries directory) and Awesome Computational Neuroscience (a researchers and grad-program directory) by being neither: it is a hands-on practical companion focused on running real analyses.

This PR skips one of the items in the guidelines:

• All non-important but necessary content (like extra copyright notices, hyperlinks to sources, pointers to expansive content, etc) should be grouped in a Footnotes section at the bottom of the readme. The section should not be present in the Table of Contents.

This list has an Attribution section, and also oddly has a Getting Started section which is not part of the list itself but rather a tutorial / instruction embedded in the middle of the awesome list. This should all go under Footnotes as indicated in this requirement which was excluded from the PR for some reason.

Also, the guidelines have this item which is marked as checked but that is inaccurate:

• Don't open a Draft / WIP pull request while you work on the guidelines. A pull request should be 100% ready and should adhere to all the guidelines when you open it.

By the PR's own admission, the submitter has not yet reviewed at least 4 other open PRs.

Great list! The distinction from existing neuroscience lists is clear. Suggestion: entries in the Contents could benefit from brief descriptions to match the awesome formatting conventions.

A few things to fix:

• The PR body URL should end in #readme.
• The 4-PR review requirement is still marked as in progress.
• Attribution is listed in Contents. Per the guidelines, that kind of note likely belongs in Footnotes and should stay out of the TOC.
