You said..." The average human uses between 3% and 10% of the brain" This is an urban myth started many years ago and still continues to this day. If you Google it you will find the results interesting and will never make that mistake again. Regards Keith ANSWER: Unlocking Einstein's Brain BY JIM STANSON Photos by Alec Breeson/Photo Reasearchers (Brain Scan), Landis/Almann Published in the November 2006 issue. "Einstein's brain was dissected and studied by fellow scientists, who now say it really was different. Even though he has been dead since 1955, Albert Einstein still has something to teach us. This time it is a lesson in neuroscience. Carefully studying his gray matter producing many breakthroughs, including the brain-wrenching theory of relativity, researchers have concluded Einstein's brain really was special. Specifically, they found while his brain was involved heavily in mathematical reasoning, he never used more than 25% of his brain potential. Einstein's brain is a prized specimen for reasons that go beyond his superior intellect. For starters, his brain was in excellent shape when he stopped using it. Fate intervened by providing a sudden death, a ruptured aneurysm of the abdominal aorta. And, he'd had the foresight to make prior arrangements to leave his brain to research. So, within 7 hours of his death it was already being removed from his skull. To prevent deterioration it was injected with, and then suspended in, Formalin. Later, it was measured, photographed and cut into about 240 blocks, each about the size of a sugar cube. The blocks were embedded in celloidin and some were cut into sections for microscopic examination. What Einstein allowed others to do with his brain while he was still using it makes the specimens he left behind more useful still. Appreciative that there was something special about the way his brain worked, Einstein went out of his way to help fellow scientists unravel the mystery by consenting to an electroencephalograph examination that recorded his brain wave activity. He also consented to interviews in which he explained how he solved problems. His explanation was quite extraordinary. "Words do not seem to play any role," he once said. "[There are] more or less clear images." This observation would provide the critical clue to Sandra F. Witelson, the leader of the McMaster University team that appears to have unlocked the secret of Einstein's brain." Sorry Keith, or Kieth, while it took me some time because of lack of interest and other pressing issues, I'm reasonably certain, you or anyone you know used more of thier or their brain than Einstien, regardless of what the internet tells you. |
| Posted By: Keith Mayes Posted On: Dec 6, 2008 Views: 1403 | RE: Keith Mayes Hi, Thanks for the info. However, after reading that article I have to say I have very severe misgivings about it. It says "Einstein never used more than 25% of his brain's potential". How on earth can they determine how much of his brain potential he used? Its just not possible. Where did you get this article from? I did a Google search and came up with this article, which I find to be far more credible. Compare how very similar the two are, except for the 25% part and a few other minor changes. I am afraid the article you read is a made up one taken from this genuine one. http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/health_medicine/1280971.html QUOTE:Einstein's brain was dissected and studied by fellow scientists, who now say it really was different. Even though he has been dead since 1955, Albert Einstein still has something to teach us. This time it is a lesson in neuroscience, and perhaps one in raising children as well. After carefully studying the gray matter that produced a series of scientific breakthroughs, including the brain-wrenching theory of relativity, Canadian researchers have concluded Einstein's brain really was different. Specifically, they found that the part of his brain that was involved in mathematical reasoning was 15 percent wider than normal, and not divided by a fold that is found in most of the rest of us.

Brain damage accident victims have proven this time and time again. There is absolutely no part of the brain that you can take a chunk out of that will not cause a loss of function. It may be memory, the use of a limb, speech, face recognition, reading ability, etc. etc. but something is always lost. This is a fact. It is also a fact that some people are born smarter than others and brain sizes vary. |
| Posted By: Marc Colon Alsup Posted On: Jan 1, 2009 Views: 1348 | RE: Keith Mayes hmm.. I had always been under the assumption that humans did in fact use one-tenth of our brains. Thanks for clearing that up. :) BUT it is a FACT that our brains are still highly mis-understood and we do not truly know all that it has to offer. Maybe when someone said "Ten percent of brain power" what they truly meant is that we only UNDERSTAND 10% of it's power. Though of course now that ratio has indefinitely changed with more and more studies being done everyday. Now what would be TRULY awesome is if we could tap into our brains survival mechanisms whenever we'd like. I wouldn't mind being able to life a car off the ground when I feel like it :p And yes, for those who are saying that's impossible, it's very possible. Our brains are equipped with the ability to tell our muscles what their present limit is, and only allows you to use 1/3 of it's potential for muscle tissue conservation. but say you are rock climbing and you slip. A 700lbs rock falls on you, and your sliding down a slope towards the edge of a cliff about to go head first down a hundred feet. Your brain would allow your muscles the extra strength it needs to get that rock off to stop your self from falling. the price? torn muscles and permanent scarring. woops, rambled a bit :p Marcelino~ |

You Google topics on the net and believe them to be true? I doubt that is an example of a person that uses all of their brain. Any other response to this will be immediately discounted until you provide the above, not links, what I have instructed you to provide. Charlatan. |
| Posted By: Keith Mayes Posted On: Feb 11, 2009 Views: 1282 | RE: Keith Mayes God Himself "what I have instructed you to provide" INSTRUCTED me! Get real!!! If you want to think we only use part of our brain, carry on thinking that with the tiny part of yours that you use. |

| Posted By: God Himself Posted On: Feb 14, 2009 Views: 1275 | RE: Keith Mayes Obey, submit or remain a kook in ailing health because of your own disobedience. |
| Posted By: Keith Mayes Posted On: Feb 14, 2009 Views: 1272 | RE: Keith Mayes I hope that YOU never have to suffer the awful physical pain of spinal chord compression caused by cancer. I hope that you remain healthy and live a long and happy life. Having said that I think you are a fu*king disgrace to the human race so fu*ck off you brainless scumbag. |
