No Viagra For The Brain, Sorry
May 28, 2004
Maybe you've heard the popular theory that we only use 10 percent of our brains. Bunk, writes Barry Beyerstein of Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, B.C. In this brief explanatory essay from Scientific American, he blames the myth partly on Lowell Thomas' intro to the famous Dale Carnegie book, "How To Win Friends and Influence People." One unanswered question in this informative piece: just how much of our brains, or brain power DO we actually use - assuming no injury? Any brainiacs out there have an answer? Hat tip to Lorna.
