87 My MEng thesis at
88 MIT, <a href="http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/91697">
89 <em>Recognizing Actions using Embodiment and
90 Empathy</em></a>. It won 1st Place 2014 Charles and
91 Jennifer Johnson Thesis Award for best EE/CS MEng
92 thesis! <code>CORTEX</code> is an exploration of
93 embodied cognition, the idea that our intelligence is
94 deeply connected to our bodies and experience of the
95 world. In the thesis, I teach a simulated worm how to
96 recognize other worms performing various actions like
97 wiggling and curling by giving it a sense of empathy:
98 the worm imagines what it would feel like to be the
99 other worm, and then recognizes the actions based on its
100 own previous experience. All code and text for the
