CU in the City with Dr. Jim Davies – Cube Gallery: Nov. 19/14: 7pm
In this talk, Jim Davies, of the Institute of Cognitive Science at Carleton University and director of the Science of Imagination Laboratory, will discuss the science behind why some things seem to resonate with our minds and others do not. Why do we get hooked on a hockey game, or to a novel? Why do some religious stories seem so meaningful? Drawing from research from psychology, biology, computer science, and more, Davies will explain the underlying psychological traits human beings have that serve as the foundation for all things compelling.
When: Wednesday November 19, 2014 Location: The Cube Gallery, 1285 Wellington St. West Time: 7:00 pm
