Did You Know?
The idea that we only use 10% of our brains is a myth: it originated from either an advertisement or misleading interpretation of neurological research in the late 19th or early 20th Century. We actually use our entire brains, but the myth was perpetuated by 'psychics' who claimed that we could tap in to the other functions of the brain in order to enjoy abilities such as Extra-Sensory Perception.
