Notes on the past, present, and possible futures of hypercuriosity.

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

It explores hypercuriosity in three ways:

• As a scientific concept grounded in neuroscience and psychology

• As a trait under pressure in today’s fast yet rigid environments

• As a capacity worth reclaiming for learning, creativity, and growth

The notes include essays, short research updates, and interviews with scientists and thinkers working on cognition, consciousness, and neurodiversity research.

The publication is written by Anne-Laure Le Cunff, PhD, a neuroscientist at the ADHD Research Lab of King’s College London, founder of Ness Labs, and author of Tiny Experiments. Her research focuses on the evolutionary neuroscience of curiosity.
