90% of our brain

[RippedNReady]

I have always heard the saying that we only use 10% of our brain.... I was wondering what the other 90% could be used for if we could utilitize that much.... What theories or possibilities are there concerning the other 90%???

This is a myth from the feel gooders. The thinking goes "We only use 10% of our brain, so imagine all that untapped potential! You can do anything!!!"

Unfortunately, it's even repeated by doctors and the media.
