ANSWERS: 10
  • 97%, meaning humans consciously use just 3% of their brains each day.
  • It varies from person to person. Hahahah
  • I was given to understand that most of us use only 10% of our brain. Therefore 90% of the human brain is unused.
  • In some people...The part they sit on.
  • most people around 60%,, Blondes 99.9%--LOL -- Im half blonde--LOL--
  • Actually, almost none of it. It is true that large parts of the brain are relatively dormant at any given time (especially when watching television...;-D...), but that's not strictly relevant. One way to picture this is to imagine the brain as a toolbox. If you need to look at something (like the television), you engage the Visual Processing "tool". If you need to interpret sounds, you engage the Auditory Processing "tool". Just because some of the "tools" are not being used at any given moment does NOT mean that they never get used. http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/10percent.asp
  • If you judged that by looking around here sometimes, you'd be nearing 100. Wrapping and price tag still on the box;)
  • Despite the urban myth that we only use 10% of our brain capacity, we do in fact use all of it. I think the toolbox analogy used in another answer fits very nicely to the question :)
  • It's not the brain that is unused, it's the mind, something they call mind expansion
  • There's no such thing as "unused" brain tissue in a normal brain. Underutilized, yes, but not unused. In any kind of neural network, all nodes (neurons) are used for all computations (thinking).
