+ My MEng thesis at
+ MIT,
+ Recognizing Actions using Embodiment and
+ Empathy. It won 1st Place 2014 Charles and
+ Jennifer Johnson Thesis Award for best EE/CS MEng
+ thesis! CORTEX
is an exploration of
+ embodied cognition, the idea that our intelligence is
+ deeply connected to our bodies and experience of the
+ world. In the thesis, I teach a simulated worm how to
+ recognize other worms performing various actions like
+ wiggling and curling by giving it a sense of empathy:
+ the worm imagines what it would feel like to be the
+ other worm, and then recognizes the actions based on its
+ own previous experience. All code and text for the
