What scientific studies show that we only use 20% of our brain?
i hear that alot but is it true?
Answer:
Archangel ; I grew up being taught that we only use 10% of our brainpower. Imagine my surprise when the last decade I've been reading more and more reports on studies that are proving we use less than that! Good heavens mrs. evans!
Less than 10%?
What the hell kind of power are we wasting as a whole race?
Can you imagine what we're missing out on? Cures for cancers, regrowing our own teeth numerously, limb reconstruction without stem cell research, mastering the arts, and maths, with a beauty we cannot imagine in our self imposed limitations.
Well..with that I guess we can't imagine what we're missing out on. We are limiting oursleves aren't we?
so are ya talking about the left or the right?
Actually they show that we use 10% of our brains and some people 0 to 1%.
..There are no such studies. Brain capacity and usage varies greatly from person to person, and besides, there's no way to quantify it. What you hear are people repeating "folk wisdom" suggesting the power of the human brain.
The spirit of what they say is accurate, though. The truth of the matter is that if you have a normal 100% of it gets used every day. The thing is, it could be used a whole lot better, and it could be used a whole lot more. 80% more? I would say a whole lot more than that. There is no known limit to how much information and processing the brain can do.
Keep in mind, in the average brain there are more neuronal connections than there are stars in the entire universe. Go for it!
ive heard alot of 10%. when did 20 % get started. lol. anyways i believe both is total bs. the right of the brain operates the left side of the body and the left of the brain operates the right side of the body. if its only 10 or 20% well we be 20% or 10% alive. we use our whole brain maybe not 100% effiencient as others but we do use it 100%.
