EMERGENCE OF COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Cognitive neuroscience has been emerged as one of the fields with high interest among academics in Iran, Turkey, Lebanon and other countries of Middle East. Today, a vast number of researchers from various fields ranging from basic sciences such as anatomy, histology and pharmacology to clinical sciences such as psychiatry, neurology and psychology are focusing their research on the cognitive neuroscience (CN). Multidisciplinary nature of CN has produced fascinating studies by collaboration between fields that previously were considered far away from each other. Submissions from software Engineers collaborating with psychologists, or control engineers working with neurologists are typical articles that we receive in Basic and Clinical Neuroscience Journal. This approach has yielded numerous interesting studies with applications that nobody has thought about them before even on a global scale.
