We have difficult news to share. Neuromatch's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) license renewal, which has allowed us to include participants residing in Iran since 2020, has been denied by the United States Government. Effective May 1, 2026, we are no longer permitted to enroll students, hire teaching assistants, or run programming involving people residing in Iran.
More information here: https://docs.neuromatch.io/p/fVk4KheYhJiEvk/Neuromatch-OFAC-License-Renewal-Decision-Update
We believe in #OpenScience and #OpenEducation. That means all our materials are free, always, for everyone, everywhere.
