Attraction Lab

An interactive exploration of love, neuroscience and the senses.

Forget love at first sight, what about love at first sniff? Attraction Lab is our one-of-a-kind interactive group experiment that explores the science of attraction through a range of enticing sensory adventures. Participants partner up to smell, hear, taste, touch, see and move their way to a greater understanding of the subconscious processes that drive our behavior and desires. A comedian and scientist host this 90 minute event, exploring the psychological, evolutionary biological, and neuroscientific underpinnings of love and the senses. Discover what the smell of sweat tells us about a prospective partner, how eating raw kale and apricots transforms our capacity for flirtation, and why long vocal chords are sexy.
