    </p>
    <p class="titre">Organized by Sacha van Albada and the EITN  on
      February 5th and 6th, at the EITN Paris.</p>

    <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>
