    Thats a myth we use all of our brain the thing is that every part of the brain has an specific task to do so we use 100% of our brains to function properly.

    • Well said, I hate this myth. I don't even know where it comes from. Far less than 10% of our brains are used to generate consciousness, most of it used for the functioning of the nervous system and maintaining life function. So it's confusing where that figure came from, even as a misunderstanding.

    • Yeah i don't know where it came from either but i think that the first scientist didn't had all the technology we have now.

    • I believe the common misconception and the problem with working there is that it should read "Senses" instead of "brain"
