Right, but that meaning isn’t quite right. To pique your interest is to arouse it, leaving open the possibility that you become even more interested, a possibility which peaking of your interest does not leave open.


However, in the case where someone means "This interested me so much that I stopped what I was doing and looked up more information," peaked is almost more correct, depending on how one defines "interest" in this context (eg. "capacity for interest"? probably no; "current attention"? probably yes).
