its said that we use less than 1% of our brain.einstein used 1.5%. tell me how to increase the brain usage?

Answer 1

#1: Recognize that that old canard about how we only use some small percentage of our brain is completely, totally, and in all other ways without merit.

#2: Learn to use the shift key.

Answer 2

Where in the world do these numbers come from like 1% or 10% or 40%? Nobody can say for sure would be closer to the truth.
Have you heard that 60, 70, 80% og our DNA is classified as "junk DNA"? How so, just because nobody has found what it is presently used for ?
You simply can't adopt a theory as truth based on lack of knowledge.
If we really did evolve then its unlikely we would have developed all that extra capacity without need for it.
On the same token, if god made us why would we be given reserve if we never use it ? And then fill us up with junk DNA.
Don't believe these numbers we are hearing about.

Back to your question on how to increase your processing power. Their are lots of interesting ways to do this. First you might want to do some of the on line quiz's to determine if you are predominately left or right brained (keeping in mind not to take all those numbers for granted as well). Next is to work on the area (side) that you are lacking, with the intent of balancing to two halves.
By exercising the weaker half you are forcing new neuro pathways.

Art is a great right brain exercise as is reading or writing is left brain exercise. Do a little research on all of this and devise a personal plan of attack.

There really is no fast way to do all this, so be creative and patient. The rewards will be tremendous and eventually it will become less of an effort. You will also find many new things about youself.

Answer 3

Brain connections, brain connections..... the more links or connections your brain has, the more power it has. Besides putting aside other necessary conditions such as having been adequately fed and not half starved, the brain has to be subjected to as much different stimuli as may be possible. Interest in sports, music, poetry, science, fiction and non fiction, games, etc etc. Just interest is not enough, there has to be engagement. If you like music besides listening to music study music and some instrument, and so on and so forth.... Also, never let down, once you let down you start losing connections, some can be recovered others not. Last but not least, take care of your body, your health, if you become a smoker your circulatory system is being damaged and will affect also your brain, if you like booze you are killing a certain number of brain cells everytime.

Answer 4

U must think a lot to increase ur brain usage. Ramanujam and Aryabatta used 3% of their brain. Due to over thinking they both died in small age.

Answer 5

You might want to read a book called the Mozart Effect. It is pretty amazing and the method works for any age to increase brain power. It is said that we form our IQ from ages birth to 6 years, but there are ways to sharpen your thinking skills. Anytime we do puzzles and brain teasers, etc. it helps us to be better thinkers. I have taught gifted students for 17 years and one constant is that the more we read, the smarter we get. There are lots of books on this and related subjects. Just go to Amazon.com and search. Different things work for different people because we all learn differently. Hanging upside down causes more oxygen to the brain for starters. Good luck! PS: Another great source is the Institute for Human Potential founded by Glenn Doman. He is a genius who has several books and knows cutting edge methods of increasing intelligence. Look for his books on Amazon.

Answer 6

Well, there's 2 ways:

#1: You can make sure that you "learn something new every day". Like any old adage, there seems to be a bit of truth to it. Science has shown that when you learn something new, your brain's neurons fire and create new synapses, thereby improving your brain's capacity for knowledge.

#2: Have an operation and remove half your brain. Then you'll be using a whopping 2%! (Just make sure they remove from the half that's not operating)

Answer 7

increase the bioelectrical current going and comming from your brain or the little box on top of the spine before the brain
you should feel funny for a few months then increase some more
after this you shouldnt increase anymore you may run into side affects

Answer 8

The amount of your brain that is used is irrelevant to how intelligent you are - it's which areas of your brain you are using that matters.

And it's just like any form of physical exercise - pick a subject that you find interesting and start reading. The more you learn the more you encourage growth of neurons in the area of the brain that handles related information. If you are into math, then start learning more about it - push yourself. If music, then take lessons and learn.

The only limitations we have are those we are willing to accept. W have no wings, but we have learned to fly. We have only our voices, but we have learned to speak to people across the world.

Answer 9

I agree with Pascal.
If a super computer takes 30 minutes to compute an image and your occipital lobe does this many times a second. I think you are using all of your lobe.
We don't use enough of our frontal cortex to appreciate how much our brain does.

Answer 10

Through meditation, you can learn to use more of your mind. There are even CD's made by the Monroe Institute using a technology called 'hemi-sync' to activate both sides of your brain. (We are trained to favour the left side of our brain).
Additionally, using different aspects of intelligence can be helpful, too. Learning a language, a musical instrument, a dance, mathematics, all can bring into play different aspects of intelligence, and therefor, different parts of your brain.
Good luck.
