“Brain awareness” is the title of a week filled with various programs performed by professors and experts in the field of cognitive sciences to promote and build culture in this area.

To date, four rounds of this international week have been held in Iran with the support of the cognitive sciences and technologies development headquarter. Similar to last years, the event was supposed to be held in March.

However, the outbreak of the coronavirus led to the cancelation of the program since the public’s health is an important issue and this week is held to help people maintain their health.

Therefore, the fifth round of the brain awareness week will be held in April concomitant with the eighth international conference on cognitive sciences.

The goal of this week"s event is to promote knowledge and raise awareness of the brain"s structure and functions. Therefore, with the launch of various programs such as lectures and meetings by researchers in this field, people"s knowledge and information about the brain and its abilities increase.

Other programs of this week include training and research projects in the field of identifying diseases and disorders, and preventing and treating them. This week"s organizers plan to take a step forward with various educational and scientific programs on how to enhance brain empowerment and ways to prevent its decline.
