IPM School of Cognitive Sciences
- IPM School of Cognitive Sciences
The School of Cognitive Sciences forms part of the Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics (IPM) in Tehran, Iran. The school was called "School of Intelligent Systems" (SIS) until 2003 when it was renamed to the School of Cognitive Sciences. The research in the school is predominantly focused on cognitive Neuroscience.
The school's research programs cover diverse areas including cognitive neuroscience, neural modeling, psychophysics, linguistics, neural networks and artificial intelligence. Most of the research is carried out by young part-time researchers, who study in medical, engineering and science fields at Tehran universities (mainly Sharif and Tehran Universities).
Since its inception the school has been managed by Dr. Caro Lucas (Prof at Electrical engineering dept., University of Tehran), Dr. Shahin Rouhani (Prof. at Physics dept., Sharif) and most recently by Dr. Hossein Esteky (Prof. at School of Medicine, University of Shaheed Beheshti).
The school earned enormous recognition with the recent publication of the article entitled "Microstimulation of inferotemporal cortex influences face categorization" by Seyed Reza Afraz, Roozbeh Kiani and Hossein Esteky in "Nature". The article was published on 10th August 2006.
