I am grateful to the Almighty that, nearly a decade after the founding of the National Brain Mapping Laboratory, we are once again honored to host the 9th International Congress on Brain Mapping of Iran in January 2026, in collaboration with Shahid Beheshti University, the Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences, and the Institute of Medical Science and Technology.
This congress serves as a dynamic platform for the presence and exchange of ideas among professors, students, researchers, scholars, executives, knowledge-based companies, and professionals from both public and private sectors active in various fields related to brain mapping. Drawing upon the insights and achievements of previous congresses, this year we aim to explore brain mapping through the lens of cutting-edge technologies in diagnostic and therapeutic services in the domains of brain and cognition, with a special emphasis on personalized medicine.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all scientific and executive contributors to past congresses, as well as to the institutions, organizations, and companies that have consistently supported scientific endeavors. We hope that this year’s congress will once again bring together the scientific community, student activists, researchers, and healthcare professionals, enabling us to take a meaningful step toward the advancement of science and the flourishing of the tree of knowledge across the globe. May its scientific benefits and research outcomes serve humanity—especially the people of Iran.
As we commence the 9th Congress, we warmly invite all academics, researchers, investors, and professionals from both public and private sectors to join us and contribute to this significant event.
Dr. Mohamad Ali Oghabian
The congress chairman of the 9th Iranian International Congress on Brain Mapping
