Sold-Out Boston Event Turns Everyday Objects Into a Mirror for the Mind

Boston – October 05, 2026 -- Tickets for a new immersive experience exploring how the brain creates meaning from ordinary objects sold out shortly after going on sale, organizers confirmed.

The Perception BoxTM Adventure will run from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 14, at Boston's SoWa Power Station. The event is a collaboration between nonprofit Unlikely Collaborators and Boston cultural group The Jar, which has been a grantee of Unlikely Collaborators for the past two years.

Elizabeth R. Koch leads a night built around a simple object test

Elizabeth R. Koch, founder and CEO of Unlikely Collaborators, will lead the evening, which blends neuroscience, storytelling, live music and personal reflection. Guests will examine a collection of curious objects, toys and trinkets and track the assumptions, memories and emotional associations their minds generate in response.
