ABSTRACT

Imagination is a crucial process for hypothetical thinking, planning, dreaming, counterfactual thinking, and creativity. In this talk I will present how imagination can be studied scientifically, and the various endeavors we are currently pursuing in the Science of Imagination Laboratory in the Institute of Cognitive Science at Carleton University.

Jim Davies is Assistant Professor of Cognitive Science at the Institute of Cognitive Science at Carleton University and Director of the Science of Imagination Laboratory.
