why do we use only 10% of our brain?

Question

what are your theories and what would it be like if we could use 100%? ... I'll cut ya!!

Answer 1

it would seem that your brain is not being used by you, many times it turns out that your brain is actually using you and the 10% you think you are using is just a funny joke put on by the 100% you dont control.

Answer 2

Old theory there, and a long disproven myth.
However, the myth that Einstein's brain was smaller than average is true.

For the last two decades we have known that much more of the brain is used. The brain can also reprogram itself to make up for missing or damaged parts, but it is very difficult. There are very specific areas in the brain that control speech, hearing, vision and other functions.

In the Middle Ages and before the heart was thought to be the seat of all emotions and the brain was thought as some sort of radiator.

The convolutions on the surface of the brain are what makes a creature intelligent. The more wrinkles and surface are the more area devoted to intelligence. The inside areas of the brain are devoted to running the body and other functions.

Because the 10% we use does not know how to use the 90%

Answer 6

I don't think that is true because different parts of our brain control our senses, which receive and send signals to parts of our bodies.

Because the majority of us have not worked out how to use the remaining 90%.
