Re: Did You Know Humans Use More than 10% of Their Brains?

That's why you're not a vegetable. :)

About two thirds of Americans believe humans only use 10% of their brains; just a bit more than the amount who believe in evolution. So how did this myth come to be? Well, around a hundred years ago, when psychology was in its infancy and people still believed in subliminal messaging, a Harvard psychologist famously said that people only develop 10% of their brains. But really, that number was pulled out of his arse.

Some other misconceptions around the issue come around through modern brain imaging techniques, too! Through fMRI scans, the typical form of brain scan used to observe brain functioning, it can be found that people activate less than 10% of their brains when starting new tasks. But that's just the parts that weren't necessarily active before; or active with less activity. What does that mean? It means that the rest of your brain was already working, anyway; just on different things not unique to that new task.

And through common sense, just realize that your brain is not an idiot; it has specialized itself to be used efficiently, through effectiveness and energy saving. It has been said that all parts of the brain follow the same code, and that some parts may carry out the tasks of other parts. But unless you want to lose your sight and gain a deep sense of smell, then be happy with yourself.

So there you have it! Everyone uses as much of their brain as they can. Probably very close to 100% all the time, or even 100% all the time; just not at maximum power.

I use it on very low power and am still able to carry out complex tasks, because it's just that efficient. 😎 Nah, just kidding. I just wanted to share this since the stupid movie Lucy is coming out.
