        We use all of our brain, but not all at once.

        Hi,

        different areas of the brain are dedicated to different tasks, so even though our brain is constantly functioning, some parts are more active according to what we’re doing.

        Hey again Owen

        You’re my last response for today.

        I’m loving the answers from the others. There’s a professor in Washington (the state, not DC) who has a page on this:
        https://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/tenper.html

        There’s a lot of interesting links on neuroscience in general there too. I’d be spending more time on them now, but it’s time for me to go home.

        Chris

        This event has definitely upped the percentage I am using of mine. It’s so cool we can even measure this. I think MRI imaging is one of the coolest things in science
