Albert Einstein said we use less than 10% of our brain>s capabilities.
How could I tap into the other 90%?
Are there any homestudy courses or books you guys recommend?
Thanks! |

I use all of my brain all of the time. That way I get to count to ten and
not miss out any numbers.
I always get the right answer, so I must be using my brain all of the time.

You already use all of your brain. What you want is to use it more
effectively. And the key to effective brain use is to do things that
require conscious effort, producing an outcome is related to that effort.

Nope. I disagree. Effective brain use is to shortcut the "conscious
effort". Conscious effort takes a long time and uses up thinking cycles
that could be used for other things.

Gambling at a roulette table is ineffective use of your brain, because
even though you may devote a lot of effort to choosing winning numbers,
the outcome is completely unrelated to your choices. Gambling on horses
is better because knowledge of horses and racing affects your chances of
winning. Raising horses is even better because it is possible to reduce
"random" outcomes, such as disease or bad behaviour, by continued study
and effort.

John, that kind of logic would tend to support that you use less than the[/quote]
normal (mythical) 10%.

It>s crap. PET scan studies at UC/Irvine using F-18 labeled
deoxyglucose antimetabolite were done to map brain activity at tasks.
The classic is learning Tetris. Volunteers diddled Tetris while being
infused. The brain only burns glucose. Active brain areas then
selectively accumulate the radiolabel which is 3-D localized by the
PET scan thereafter.
Naive volunteers who could run maybe 20 lines had major parts of their
brain light up. After a month of training they could run 80-100 lines
routinely. When the second set of images was taken from adepts
working the game... the whole brain was dark except for a tiny sliver
that lit up brightly. Only the minute part of the brain necessary to
the task was working. EEGs shows many of the really good folks were
"sleeping" while doing the task.
Working smart is better than working hard. The folks way to the right
of the Bell Curve already know this. It drives management into a
murderous rage. UNDESERVING!

This is a million dollars question and I know of people who have drastically
improved, not only their memory but as well their True ( i.e. Synthesis )
intelligence in extraordinary fashion !
As an example :
One person who could barely remember things except by going into time-tiring
memory drills and associations, could learn in a mere 20 mn what would take
him previously the whole night to learn.
That same person wrote a 5 000 pages ( handwritten ) memoir in 3 month flat
and taking into account all the research going on with it ... and while
previously barely able to work for a few hours straight, could in this
instance work over 18 to 20 hours a day nearly non-stop ! ... and that
memoir was on a tough medical subject !
.... and some more example available
Interesting ? Isn>t it ?
So the original question was not a stupid question but a highly intelligent
one !
So then, keep seeking !

Remove the unused 90% and then you will be operating at 100% capacity. |

Perhaps the misunderstanding of local neurons led to the origin of the
widespread, nonsensical belief that "we only use 10% of our brain." It is
difficult to imagine any reasonable justification for this belief. Surely,
no one maintained that a person could lose 90% of the brain and still behave
normally or that only 10% of neurons are active at any given moment.
Whatever its origin, the belief became popular, presumably because people
wanted to believe it. Eventually, they were simply quoting one another after
everyone forgot what evidence they had (or didn>t have) for it in the first
place.
