While sometimes you might feel like you’re only using 10% of your brain, VERIFY viewer Lucia wanted to know if it's true that humans only use 10% of their brains. To look into it, we turned to the Association for Psychological Science, the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, Beth Israel Lahey Health Winchester Hospital in Winchester, Mass. and neuroscientist Eric Chudler, Ph.D.
QUESTION: Do we use only 10% of our brains?
ANSWER: No, we do not. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that humans use only 10% of their brains, according to Eric Chudler, a neuroscientist and professor at the University of Washington. Instead, all existing evidence shows that people actually use 100% of their brains on a daily basis.
