Abstract
Reaction time (RT) and anticipation skills are important neuro-cognitive indicators. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the feasibility of using the costume design computer based neuro-cognitive test as a indicator of neuro-cognition ability and test-retest reliability of above clinical test. Fifteen healthy right-handed female students, volunteered for the present experiment. we designed and constructed a simple, portable and inexpensive system based on software engineering methods as a neuro-cognitive test. Measurement of test-retest reliability was taken by an independent physiotherapist (time interval 1 week). Yielding correlation coefficients demonstrated high correlation for the anticipatory of high speed and low speed of ball index, moderate correlation for auditory choice RT index, high correlation for auditory complex choice RT index, high correlation for visual complex RT index and moderate correlation for visual complex choice RT index. 
The computerized RT test proved to be a reliable instrument that use in assessment of brain signal processing and cognition behavior.
 
Keywords of your Abstract : Neuro-Cognitive, Feasibility, Reliability.

What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : The main theme of conference emphasized on multidisciplinary studies instead of interdisciplinary studies. It means that having a teamwork with different specialists for finding the problem solution instead of giving idea in various areas by an individual. Since my presentation and project subject was completely multidisciplinary and as a result of medical and engineering researches team working, it was too much paid attention by the audience.
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : Prof Dr. Mustaf Erdik
Dr.Ahmed Saddam
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : There wasnt special point. The mission of the conference was to persistently nurture the values to promote the human rights, institutional and academic development through quality research contributions. Their unique human capital with constructive attitude is committed to bring change in all spheres of life by using innovative research and intellectual skills. Their vision is researching and developing for humanity.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : The main reason of my participating in this congress among another conferences that accepted my papers, beyond its amazing subject was easy travelling to Turkey. Whereas travelling to this country doesn’t need visa and easily possible to book hotel and assign flying date, there wouldn’t be serious problem.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : This forum was established to discuss the issues of multidisciplinary field collaboration and innovative emerging trends. researchers in various fields joined together and shared the new innovative trends in their field. This common platform is expected to provide the bases for joint venture among different fields to serve the society in a better way.
In this conference in addition to exchanging scientific information, appropriate cultural interaction was made among participants. In addition to eagerly attending of Islamic countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey and Bahrain, The participants could exchange their cultural points of view.
