That is untrue. PET scans of the brain show that much of the brain is active. From an evolutionary point of view it does not make sense for the brain to develop 90% of useless brain either. It is established and proven that we use 100% of our brain, but not all of it at the same time, we use different parts for different reasons but overall the whole brain is used. Therefore do not be tricked by those adverts offering to tap into your unused brain power as you probably don’t have such a thing as unused brain.
Hmmm... i really believed some of these to be true... like the first one

We do use all parts of our brain (100% of it). But that 10% pointer that we hear, most of the times, is about the functioning capacity of our brain in terms of ability, performance and the resulting achievements. So, I think it still stands true that most of us get way less out of our brains than it's capable of.
