When you use 100% of your brain

A popular claim that humans use just 10 percent of their brains is far from accurate—but that doesn't mean we use 100 percent of them, either.

First, let me tell you what would happen if we used 80% of the brain. I suppose if we use 80% of our brains, we will be in ICU.

Why? because we use the majority of our brains throughout the day and night And when we use 80%, it means something is wrong and hence ICU.

The truth is that we do, in some ways, use our entire brain. Most people think we use our brains only in maths, physics, logical reasoning, crime mysteries, testing boyfriends, getting girlfriends, etc.

But the fact is that we use our brains for everything. For instance, for reading this answer, walking, judging the speed of a ball, using hands, sensing temperature, etc.

Permit me to elaborate. Suppose you are walking as well as talking on your phone. When the conversation turns important, you unknowingly stop walking.

Guess why? Because you are multitasking. When you stop walking, the load on your brain reduces and it can focus on the conversation that is important.

The brain is a tool, and we have the scope to use it better than we actually do. But that does mean we will start communicating with snakes, if we use our brain's full potential.

We do use the full capacity of our brains. The idea that humans only use 10% of their brains is a ridiculous myth that seems perpetually inaccessible to the light of reality.

The bottom line -  Why is it so easy to believe these myths about the brain?

There’s a grain of truth running through some of them. Others seep into our own brains through repetition, and we fail to question their validity.  If you previously bought into some of these brain myths, take heart. You weren’t alone.

As much as scientists know about the human brain, there’s a long way to go before we come close to fully understanding the mysterious organ that makes us human.
