Hi, I’m Anne-Laure. I’m a neuroscientist studying Curiosity-Driven Intelligence—the architecture behind why we seek, and how this system can be tuned or disrupted.

I’ve always been fascinated by human consciousness and the biology of the mind. I believe the complex interactions in our brain shape our thoughts, feelings and dreams, and ultimately make us human.

Through my work at Ness Labs and my research at King’s College London, I explore how curiosity intersects with neuroscience, psychology, and technology—including ADHD and AI.

Every week, I write a newsletter about curiosity, lifelong learning, and mindful productivity, which is read by more than 120,000 curious minds.

I also published a book, Tiny Experiments, exploring how we can live more experimental lives.

I’m French-Algerian. I enjoy journaling, dancing, and long nature walks. Things I love to talk about: mental health in our modern age, the nature of consciouscness, psychedelics in healthcare and society, the magic of liminality, tools for thought, nutrition, science fiction.

Please get in touch if any of this sounds interesting to you, if you need help with anything related to the above topics, or if you have a good book to recommend.
