The Scientific Institute for Science of Language and Brain was founded by Dr. Molood S. Safavi and Dr. Shahla Raghibdoust in the spring of 2020 as the first independent non-commercial / non-profit institute and community platform (with registry no. 49422) in the field of Neurolinguistics in Iran. The institute aims to create a center for scientific exchanges between students and professors at home and abroad, and a bridge to link Linguistics, Speech therapy, Cognitive Neuroscience and other related disciplines. The institute has the honor of benefiting from the guidance and support of many professors and colleagues in this field. Currently, the main focus of the activities is as follows:

• Organizing basic to advanced virtual or on-site training (focusing on experimental approaches)
• Organizing journal clubs and giving the stage to our members to share their latest research with the community
• Organizing specialized conferences or symposiums
• Introducing experts and pioneers of Language and Brain
• Organizing discussion platforms for analyzing the current scientific gaps and opportunities in Iran
