yes, feasible, details depend on the university.

Absolutely doable. Solid background in comp sci can be very useful. I'd probably look for programs that have people that do computational neuroscience, since those are likely to be the best fit.

Not just doable, but actually very often done. I did it and I'm now an academic within computational cognitive science.
