The Other 90% of Our Brain.

this is still not confirmed and there are still some doubts as to whether we only use small percent of the brain while the bigger part are remained unused. but i think if this is true, i don't think that is possible to tap those other percent as i think that we are really created to tap only those small percent and beyond that it will be too hard and takes such a great effort to do that if it is possible at all.

but i am not really much concerned in tapping those other parts as i believe that will not be the secret of success. i think that my life can still go on without tapping those unused percent of the brain.

I have read similar publications about how much percentage of the brain is being used and they are giving different figures. No matter what the figures are, one thing is obvious, that the fullest capacity of the brain is still to be tapped and put to use. We tend to limit what we can do but the actual fact is that there are really no bounds to what the brain can do. If only we can use at least 20% of our brains, then computers are no match to what we can do. We just have to learn how to push the performance envelop a little farther.

enjoy!

OOOOOOOOhhh I love this subject!

Here's my take, and bear with me...it's more of a revelation than theory, so I firmy believe this is the case.
It begins in the Garden of Eden. When God commisioned mankind, He told him to govern over the birds of the air and the fish in the sea...among other things...
Now, let's skip to Revelation, where God is telling John, "I will be there God, and they will be my people, and I will walk among them..." This is the same model of governance as commanded back in Genesis, and isn't the first time walking among them is used as a model of leadership.
How then, I pose, are we, or were we, to "walk among" the birds of the air and the fish in the sea?
My belief, is that we could, before we were a fallen race, do these things since we had no limits to our brainpower. We were perfect, using 100% of our brain! We can't even comprehend that right now, but I am sure we had the ability to fly in the air at the slightest thought, as well as breathe underwater with the fish. What other abilities could we have had? Telekinisis, telepathy, and who knows what else?
We attribute all these things to superheroes of the comic books, but why else would God give us dreams of these abilities? There used to be a time when these super traits were our second nature, but since we are fallen, and "dead", we are now limited to what we now know as our human abilities.
If you eat of this fruit, you will surely die! Tell me, what other kind of death would be worse than being someone more powerful than Superman, then living out the rest of what WAS an endless life in 1% of your brains' true capacity. That is death in its' truest sense.

This is true, you know what, i needed to read your post 3 times, so i could capitulate on the matter, I saw this in Discovery channel, that we only use a small portion of our brain, It does not really bother me cause its not only me but everybody's brain as well, they also cited some interesting notions/ or findings that Sir Albert Einstein and other renowned inventors and scientist were actually using more than the usual 10%, they say Einstein only sleeps like an hour a day, and that somehow manage his brain to work proportionally. Same is true with other Scientist but i FORGOT their names.

All that seems to be right....even I have read a book which convinced me that I was using a very small portion of my brain....It actually tells that out brains works like computer which stores all the information that you enter...but without a reference to that data the data is lost....It also gives few methods for creating reference to all the data that you store...

i have onetimes read about the human brain power, the world greates scientist who studied the human brain say, when human use the another 60 percent of human brain then they will be able to move object like in movies the telekinesis...
Then whe will have luke skywalker on the earth, and we can retire George Lucas:)
Little Joke about star wars

Very interesting! I wish I could learn how to use 100% of my brain! But only like three people in the world can use like 40%.

Ooh... I like this topic.

Based on my readings on this issue before, human using only 10% of their brain is actually a myth.

As we know, human brain contains cerebral cortexes, neurons, glial, and so on. Obviously not all part of brain is being used at once. At any given time, only 5% of neuron are active, and some areas are more active than the others, depending on the tasks at hand. But all the parts do something, and it seems safe to say that over time, you use pretty much all of your brain.

Maybe there's a misconception somewhere....
=)

i like isaac asimov's writing.

First of all, I will be realy happy if I see a person that can use 10% of his brain.
Second, if you are able to use even 30-40% of your brain you will need amazing amount of to power you up since almost 90% of your energy goes for your brain.
Third do you actualy want to remember everything? Just think about it to remember every single moment from your life even things, small things that have no value at all. Fore example to remember what have you got for brekfast at 12 july 2001? Not so cool huh? Or imagine this, you get more than 1000 brilliant ideas every day, and you can rememmber them. Can you make them all come true? You dont actualy have the time to do it, you cannot act as fast as your brain work, you simply cannot do everything you think of.
