What if we used 100\% of our brain?
In debunking the ten percent myth, Knowing Neurons editor Gabrielle-Ann Torre writes that using one hundred percent of one’s brain would not be desirable either. Such unfettered activity would almost certainly trigger an epileptic seizure.

It’s one of Hollywood’s favorite bits of pseudoscience: human beings use only 10 percent of their brain, and awakening the remaining 90 percent—supposedly dormant—allows otherwise ordinary human beings to display extraordinary mental abilities.
Do humans only use 10 percent of their brain power?
You may have heard that humans only use 10 percent of their brain power, and that if you could unlock the rest of your brainpower, you could do so much more. You could become a super genius, or acquire psychic powers like mind reading and telekinesis. However, there is a powerful body of evidence debunking the 10 percent myth.
What percentage of our brains are active all the time?
Answer by Yohan John, PhD in Cognitive and Neural Systems. The idea that we only use 10 percent of our brains is a pernicious myth. The brain is always active. It makes a bit more sense to say that we use 100 percent of the brain all the time, but even this is misleading. Both the 10 percent or 100 percent estimates are not even wrong.
Can you live with 90\% of your brain missing?
Scientists research man missing 90\% of his brain who leads a normal life. The case of a man who is still able to function even though most of his brain is missing, has given fuel to radical theories about consciousness. Psychologist Axel Cleeremans, of the Université Libre in Brussels, explains how.
Is it possible to use 100\% of your brain while exercising?
Technically speaking it is not possible to use 100\% of our brain for a single activity. But there is a fact that the way we increase our strength by muscular training similarly there are ways we can unlock or just use a higher percentage of our brains.
