Hypercurious is a publication about how curiosity works and what happens when it doesn’t fit the world we’ve built.

You’ll find essays, bite-sized research updates, and conversations with scientists exploring cognition, consciousness, and neurodiversity.

It’s written by Dr Anne-Laure Le Cunff, a neuroscientist at the ADHD Research Lab of King’s College London, founder of Ness Labs, and author of Tiny Experiments. My academic work focuses on the evolutionary neuroscience of curiosity and the spectrum of traits we call ADHD.

Think of Hypercurious as a public research hub: a space to explore ideas in progress, surface opposing perspectives, and share the open questions that shape this field. I’ll share contradictions, incomplete evidence and moments of uncertainty – all part of doing science in the open.
