The Mything Piece 0
Despite the assurances of Hollywood, the that “we only use 10% of our brain” is crap somewhat lacking in veracity. At Psychology Today Blogs, Keven Bennett tries to track down who perpetrated the lie. A snippet:
Have you ever met anyone who is missing 90% of their brain? Probably not. If you have you could ask them what congressional district they represent. Whammy.
You’ve never heard of anyone with that much brain missing because pretty much all areas of the brain are active. They wouldn’t be able to function with that tidbit of grey matter. Even the regions of cortex in blind people that normally process vision are co-opted for other functions. Everyone makes use of the entire brain.
