POWDER IS ANTI-CHRIST

Higher brain functions and memories and other functions such as speech, visoion,lng-term memory and short term memory are all store in different parts of the brain.

So which it may be true that we only USE 10% of our brain it is a truer statement that we ONLY USE 10% of our brain at ONE TIME.

But it's possible throught the course of 1 minute that we probably use ALL of our brain to talk, move, smell, see, hear, and recall long ago memories and also trying to remember what you had for breakfast (short-term memory)

So like the poster before me it has been proven FALSE and just a MYTH that we ONLY use 10% of our brain.

Once again "We only use 10% at any given time" but rest assured that we use 100% of our Brain over a short amount of time.

I think what they really mean is we only use our brain at a 10% of its capabilities. In other words, we fully use all of our brain, but not its full potential.

Kinda like using a fast Core 2 Quad to do spreadsheets.

they wanted to see if that myth was true on mythbusters and they proved that the average person uses around 13 to 16% of there brain at one time. and the rest of there brain is completly inactive at that time.

every post in this thread owned the first. ba da ba ba ba.

i'm lovin it.

A lot of people are so hung up on 10% that they'll twist it any way they can to make it fit, but it doesn't. It's a myth that was disproved more than 100 years ago. It is an old wives tale that has been passed down from generation to generation even though modern science knows it's nonsense. If you don't believe me, type "ten percent brain" into Google and see what you get.

We use 100% of our brains 100% of the time. The only time a part of the brain shuts down completely... is if it dies. We may use certain parts more heavily at certain times (like a car, sometimes we go 75 mph and sometimes we cruise down the block at 20) but there is no shut off switch. For example, a recent study has shown that when we daydream, the higher functions of our brain are running in the background to solve our problems. That's why, when a person has an decision to make, they'll be told to sleep on it or to give it a few days. I don't know how many times I've had an issue and I've literally put it aside for a week without thinking about it... and then when I think about it again the answer pops into my mind as if it was completely obvious from the start.

I think people grossly underestimate the amount of processing power it takes to do the most basic human things. Did you know that even the most advanced super computers in the world cannot interpret visual information the way the human eye/brain does? Do you know how much difficulty they've had in creating a robot that can walk like a human does? We make hundreds of tiny balance adjustments every time we walk down the street. Even something as simple as "it looks like it will rain" is the result of the brain calculating the probability using all the data from previous days when the weather was similar. Of course, to us there's no pause at all, it comes instantaneously. What seems like intuition is actually our own personal super computer at work.

We don't need psychic powers, the human brain is extraordinary enough.

EDIT(to a guy who posted above): It's spelled "layman's terms", not "lehman's terms". The word "layman" comes from "laity" which means "common people"

Witty closing remarks have been replaced by massive head trauma and severe hemorrhaging.

I would hope to god that neurologist was not treating you and/or still has his medical license. A stroke is a burst or blocked blood vessal usually in the brain that inturrupts the blood supply to the brain. It has nothing to do with neurons firing.

"Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive."

No that is not what a stoke is. Why not just Google it before making a fool out of yourself. At least you are in like company in this little group. The Antichrist?? We're still living in the dark ages.

No, a stroke is a ruptured or clogged blood vessel in the brain. A seizure is when too many neurons are firing erratically in the brain at once.

I only ues 10% f my brai to typ.

How do totally insane people like you get by on a day to day basis? How can you possibly function in society? Do you live in a Group Home that has an internet connection?

Just to clarify something. The popular image of the Anti-Christ is totally wrong

"Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the Antichrist." (2 John 1:7)

Or to put it simply, anyone who speaks against Christianity is AN Anti-Christ.




The difference between a debate and an argument is one is noble and one is idiotic. Chose wisely.
