 To attack the action recognition problem, I developed a computational
 model of empathy (=EMPATH=) which allows me to recognize actions using

+The missing sense data is ``imagined'' by the system by combining

 In order to build this empathic, action-recognizing system, I created
 a program called =CORTEX=, which is a complete platform for embodied
 AI research. It provides multiple senses for simulated creatures,
-including vision, touch, proprioception, muscle tension, and
