Text of Note

This is a cooperative effort to define the present-day interface between experimental brain science and theoretical modelling. Care was taken to balance the experimental contributions with the theoretical analyses, and ineach field the issues were selected according to their relevance and applicability to the other. There are three main topics, referring to the interpretation of neuroanatomical structure, to a general theory of corticalfunction, and to the physiology of the visual cortex.

Artificial intelligence.

Medicine.

Neurosciences.
