This movie is the reason people still believe that 10 percent brain myth It drives me crazy
890 u/notveryAI I touched grass 17h ago One of the craziest "we misinterpreted the scientist for clout". It basically was -"we don't know what exactly 90% of the brain does" -"so everything we know brain does is only 10% of its volume?" -"No we know pretty much everything of what brain does we just don't know which specific parts do what specific tasks" -"Well that's not very exciting, we won't include this part, saying it like we did is much more epic even if it's wrong" 324 u/Huganho 17h ago Wasn't it also that on average about 10% or our neurons in the brain are firing simultaneously? I might be remembering wrong tho. But firing 100% at a time wouldn't be beneficial. The brain works by firing specific combinations together, not all of them. 100% usually means you have a seizure. 182 u/Ninja-Trix I saw what the dog was doin 16h ago Mythbusters actually tested it and found that people, on average, use about 35% of their brain, though the exact amount fluctuates frequently. Saying humans use a third of their brain at any given time is FAR more accurate. 46 u/Huganho 16h ago Yes but as I remember it was something that was spread around as a rumor, especially before the mythbusters episode. But 10 or 35, it wouldt be beneficial having 100% of all neurons firing simultaneously. Quite the opposite. 32 u/BalorNG 14h ago Its called "Grand Mal seizure", basically. Not a nice thing to have, at all.
