| contents | <p>This record establishes the Zenodo presence of the House of Us research programme on expanded cognition and applied technology for neurodivergent minds. The programme is conducted under the auspices of House of Us — Research Institute for Expanded Cognition and Applied Technology For Awesome Minds (RIECAT FAM), a Belgian ASBL in formation, incubated by Step Entreprendre in Liège, Belgium.</p> <p> </p> <p>The programme operates from a foundational premise: neurodivergent minds are not broken versions of a neurotypical standard. They are differently organised intelligences that existing systems were not built to accommodate. The research question driving the programme is not what is wrong with these minds, but what was wrong with the systems built around them, and what becomes possible when we build differently.</p> <p> </p> <p>The programme emerges at a moment when neurodivergent conditions have become one of the most discussed topics in digital culture — with over 25,000 media articles on ADHD published in the first five months of 2024 alone, and the hashtag #adhd ranking among the most popular health-related content on major platforms — while rigorous, lived-experience-grounded research remains scarce. Studies find that more than half of neurodivergence-related content on the most popular platforms contains misinformation. The distance between visibility and rigour is growing. This programme exists to close that gap.</p> <p> </p> <p>The programme works across three interconnected layers. The first is theoretical: establishing the historical and philosophical basis for understanding cognitive norms as contingent rather than natural, shaped by the industrial era to privilege repetition, precision, and predictable execution, and now being challenged by the arrival of AI systems capable of adapting to human diversity rather than enforcing a single cognitive standard. The second is applied: translating theoretical frameworks into practical methodology for individuals, organisations, and institutions navigating neurodivergent inclusion, AI literacy, and the future of work. The third is technological: developing applied products, platforms, and tools designed from the ground up for neurodivergent cognitive styles, rather than adapted from neurotypical defaults.</p> <p> </p> <p>The programme's foundational book series, the Awesome Minds Series, documents both the personal and the structural dimensions of this work. The first volume, ADHD Dance, establishes the lived experience layer: what it means to navigate the world with a wildfire mind, and what self-knowledge, strategy, and sovereignty look like from the inside. Future volumes will expand the inquiry across other expressions of neurodivergent cognition and their relationship to applied technology, inclusive design, and economic participation.</p> <p> </p> <p>This programme connects to and is in dialogue with the OKKA Expanded Intelligence research programme (Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19086615), a 124-entry interdisciplinary study on expanded intelligence, human-AI collaboration, and civilisational cognition. The two programmes share an author, a methodological lineage, and a conviction: that the future of intelligence is expanded, relational, and built for all minds. ORCID: 0009-0006-9741-549X.</p> |
