rlm@93 103 Jennifer Johnson Thesis Award for best EE/CS MEng
rlm@93 104 thesis! <code>CORTEX</code> is an exploration of
rlm@93 105 embodied cognition, the idea that our intelligence is
rlm@93 106 deeply connected to our bodies and experience of the
rlm@93 107 world. In the thesis, I teach a simulated worm how to
rlm@93 108 recognize other worms performing various actions like
rlm@93 109 wiggling and curling by giving it a sense of empathy:
rlm@93 110 the worm imagines what it would feel like to be the
rlm@93 111 other worm, and then recognizes the actions based on its
rlm@93 112 own previous experience. All code and text for the
