Do human use only 10 percent of their brains ?
There are several variations on this statement- humans use only 10% of their brains. This folkloric statement has been around for at least a century. Fortunately, it's just not true. A recent MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) imaging clearly demonstrates that humans put most of their cerebral cortex to good use, even while dozing.

Actually, the affirmation is true in the sense that, during several common activities, you only use a tenth of your brain potential.
This does not mean, however, that 9/10 of your brain is being wasted, just that any usual activity does not require your whole brain to work at once.
Of course, there are certain cases where the brain malfunctioning theory might have some merit...
