The whole marketing campaign for the film "Lucy" revolving around the idea that humans only use 10% of their brain annoyed me greatly. Every time one of the trailers came on TV I spent ten minutes explaining how it was wrong... and I lost all my friends :(

To be fair it's hard to believe we use 100% when you see some youtube comments.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I can't believe my AP Psychology teacher was taking about how fascinating the LUCY trailer was and what would actually happened if people used all of their brain. I didn't feel like correcting her but come on... An AP Psychology teacher should know that. You don't see people removing 90% of their brain and being fine.

Thank you for making this video. My friend was literally arguing with me about this for like 20 minutes.

I was really hoping this video was a single "no".

Thanks for this video! My class was arguing about this topic, and it was just my friend and I against about half my class, and nobody believed us when we said we don't just use 10% of our brains. I showed them this video and they finally stopped being stubborn and admitted we were right. It was so great! 😂

Are our brains capable of more than we know though... There's a question. We do use our whole brain, but what if not to its full potential?

Thank you for tackling this obnoxious myth! Hopefully someday you'll do a similar one for "Scientists proved that bees can't fly...BUT THEY DO!!!"

"Rate 5 stars" I haven't heard that one in a while.

This is a tricky question. For instance, if you're Kim Kardashian, the answer is yes.

Came here after my physiology professor said we only use 10% of our brain...
Thanks, Hank! I've learned more from your SciShow and CrashCourse videos than from the classes I pay for!
