In this talk which will be held at the Arts & Letters Club of Toronto<\/a>, 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.
