| Edmond J. Safra Center for Brain and Learning Disabilities Research |
| The Center for Brain and Learning Disabilities Research at the University of Haifa, Israel's first, was established to combine basic and applied research in the areas of basic skills such as reading, writing, arithmetic and second language, cognitive skills such as motor skills, attention, perception, and the fields of emotion and behavior related to learning processes and learning disabilities in a multi-age population from toddlers to adults. The researchers who are partners in the center come from the fields of psychology, neuropsychology, medicine and computer science. The center includes various laboratories: Laboratory for Neurocognitive Research, Brain Imaging Laboratory, Laboratory for the Study of Reading, Unit for the Study of arithmetic and mathematics disabilities and an LSU unit for diagnosis and treatment of learning disabilities among toddlers to adults. The studies conducted in these laboratories combine an interdisciplinary perception that is based, among others, on different methods and theoretical approaches which have been developed over the years by researchers at the center. The center's studies are conducted using behavioral and electrophysiological measures (EEG, ERP and source assessment methods), using fMRI and instrumentation to monitor eye movement and sound analysis. The Center works in collaboration with researchers around the world, including Switzerland, Netherlands, USA, Germany, France, Finland and the United Kingdom.
