Hi, I’m Anne-Laure. I’m a neuroscientist who helps people leverage their curiosity to think, feel, and live more deeply.
My work focuses on Curiosity-Driven Intelligence—the architecture behind why we seek, and how this system can be tuned or disrupted.
Through my writing at Ness Labs and my research at King’s College London, I explore how curiosity intersects with neuroscience, psychology, and technology—including how AI can augment curiosity and how curiosity manifests differently in ADHD.
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, reading, long nature walks. Things I love to talk about: mental health in our modern age, the nature of consciousness (panpsychist for now!), psychedelics in healthcare and society, the magic of liminality, tools for thought, good nutrition, herbalism, science fiction.
Please get in touch if any of this resonates, if you’d like to collaborate, or if you have a good book to recommend.
