It would be inaccurate to say that humans only use 10-20 percent of their brains, right? T’is just a myth. But would it be accurate to say that humans only use 10-20 percent of their brains AT A TIME?
If so, what would happen if humans were somehow able to access 100% of their brain at once? Would it be a good thing or a bad thing? 
Re: Brain usage
I think it would cause operation overload or powersurge like effects… not good for the body I think.
But then again I am no Doctor… 
Re: Brain usage
We’ll prolly start thinking of ways to take over the world 
nuclear weapons or something!

that part sounds like a scientific question........ but what humans will do with it.........nothing unexpected...what been doing since forever.......

Wrong. They'll be capable of thinking/doing what they haven't been able to do previously, now that they have acess to 100% of their brain at once. I was watching the movie Limitless btw :@: so this thread is probably all fictional!
Re: Brain usage

can you please back it with some reference??? cuz i have read that people with higher IQ in fact uses 5% of their brain so normal people actually use 1-2%.
another thing, human brain can only funtion for 20 min at a specific topic after that it will divert to something else. i personally can concentrate hardly 10 min on anything after that my mind flourishes with some random thoughts or blackouts.
Re: Brain usage
ya…exactly…nothing to do with science…since its fictional..why don’t u move it to life1?? 
Re: Brain usage
As far as I know, we can access 100% of our brain just not all at once (limited multi-tasking). It is a myth that we only use a certain percentage of our brain. But it is true that the brain uses ~20% of the body’s energy. Medical people can help me out here.

How about NO! 
Re: Brain usage
I don't use my brain, trying to save it for a special occasion.
I'd assume that if we were able to tap into our brain's full potential, our life expectancy would decrease.
Re: Brain usage
Wise words :k:
I also think if brain becomes too aware and awake, our heart wont be able to handle the pressure of knowledge (good and bad knowledge). The best thing for the aware brain (which is slowly reaching its true potential) is to be a little unconscious, slightly numb, a wee bit tranquilled.
Awareness and consciousness is not a good combination. It can drive people crazy, in a literal way. The best way is to let the awareness come and go, dont act on its whims. Just write it down or say it, but dont act on it, unless your heart forces you to act. But heart has to be pure too.
So aware mind, tranquilled conscious, and pure heart is the best combination.
Re: Brain usage
How much a human uses or can use ,,, its a different story but let me say that is the most powerful organ of the body.If you know that how to utilize your brain and how to control your self by using this,then you would be the most charming person.
Re: Brain usage
The human brain is so much complex and complicated as still, scientist fail to develop artificial brain or to understand to structure of brain as there are numerous things which still nobody has knowledge. As some scientist and researchers said that a normal person only uses 5% of its total brain and what’s happened when human being use his 100% brain.
