9. We Only Use 10% of Our Brain
A very common science myth we all heard before – we use only 10% of the brain. Films that got inspired by this myth such as Limitless and Lucy, followed the question of what if we could use more than 10% of the brain and reach “our full potential”. Well, the myth proved to be wrong thanks to modern science, and we now know that our brain is more active than we think.
As quoted from neurologist John Henley: “Evidence would show over a day you use 100 percent of the brain”. In fact, by using certain technology to scan the brain, scientists can see that the brain actually is in none stop action even while we are sleeping.
