90 <em>Recognizing Actions using Embodiment and
91 Empathy</em></a>. It won the 1st Place 2014 Charles and

93 thesis! <code>CORTEX</code> is an exploration of
94 embodied cognition, the idea that our intelligence is
95 deeply connected to our bodies and experience of the
96 world. In the thesis, I teach a simulated worm how to
97 recognize other worms performing various actions like
98 wiggling and curling by giving it a sense of empathy:
99 the worm imagines what it would feel like to be the
100 other worm, and then recognizes the actions based on its
101 own previous experience. All code and text for the
