Luria Neuroscience Institute (LNI) and its not-for-profit arm Luria Scientific Foundation (LNF) were founded in 2011 with the broad purpose of advancing research in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology, and disseminating knowledge in these areas.

LNI is based in New York City and is directed by Elkhonon Goldberg, a student and close associate of Alexander Luria.
