<p style="text-align: justify;">The cerebral cortex plays a key role
in high-level brain functions including sensory processing,
memory, attention, planning, and the internal modeling of the
external world. To make sense of the wealth of experimental data
available on cortical anatomy and physiology, and the relation of
its activity to behavior, theoretical approaches are essential. A
variety of tools are used for this purpose: bottom-up modeling
starting from biological knowledge, top-down including normative
approaches, investigations of the coding properties at the
single-neuron and neuronal population levels, analytical work and
simulations, and comparisons between healthy and disease
conditions. This workshop brings together a cross-section of these
theoretical approaches toward unraveling the mechanisms used by
the cerebral cortex for achieving its functionality, with the goal
of facilitating mutual fertilization between the various
approaches.</p>
