We only use 10% of barin.
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that we use only 10% of our brains.
Where did the 10% Myth Begin?
The 10% statement may have been started with a misqoute of Albert Einstein or the misinterpretation of the work of Pierre Flourens in the 1800s.It may have been William James who wrote in 1908: "we are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources" (from The Energies of Men, p. 12). Surgeon Perhaps it was the work of Karl Lashley in the 1920s and in 1930s that started it. Lashley removed large areas of the cerebral cortex in rats and found that these animals could still relearn specific tasks. We now know that destruction of even small areas of the human brain can have devastating effects on behavior. That is one reason why neurosurgeons must carefully map the brain before removing brain tissue during operations for epilepsy or brain tumors: they want to make sure that essential areas of the brain are not damaged.
