The 10% brain use is a myth:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_percent_of_brain_myth


Don't take anything you see on movies or what people say as granted

This. That fact ruins the movie for me. </3

Yap, when I watched the trailer the 10% thing turned me off immediately, but I'm pretty sure the movie is quite awesome, they could just start with a more believable premise though.

You only use 33% of a traffic light at any time.

Humans do not utilize the full potential of their mind.  What percentage we use is moot, we are capable of much more than what we do now.  Ignoring the movie's meaning over a percentage is semantics.  Look at the bigger picture they were trying to paint.  Clearly they had to illustrate it through some medium that it could be understood by the population.

The chemical Lucy was foreshadowing to is, well, Lucy.  Lucy is the name for LSD.  LSD has the ability to give humans supernatural abilities, I have experienced momentary levitation with the help of LSD myself.

LSD evolves your mind by increasing your sensory input.  Give the right amount to the right user and they would gain access to supernatural abilities.  I believe I can take flight given access to a thumbprint of LSD (a thousand hits), considering I partially levitated with only 3 hits or so.

So yes, open your mind, expand your potential and evolve.  Lucy awaits you.

Same. As soon as they started spouted that nonsense, I lost interest.

Using 100% brain capacity would make you tired and you need 20hours of sleep a day..

i want to know how a baby is able to harness a few dozen kilotons (FACT!) apparently....

baby fission...

people this is why you need to STAY IN SCHOOL!

less acid, more education...

Yep when i saw the trailer on TV was reframing this old myth i couldnt believe they can still pump out multimillion dollar crap like this.

I watch movie two days ago and i'm impressed. I can't wait to watch it in 1080p and better audio (when he get to torrent of course).

Less judgment, more life experience...

If you can control 100% of your brain , most probably you would die  ;D .

If you cannot control 100% of your brain, most certainly you would die.

But when is the last 1% used? :o
All these questions...

But it is also the opposite , if you control 100% you will die . We will not ever be sure , because i've never seen a person that use a 100% of his brain.

I am not judging you, I am calling you out for spreading bullshit subjective nonsense as fact.

I can almost guarantee I am significantly older than you and would not consider chemically induced brain damage a worth while life experience. What breadth of experience comes from tweaking out in your parents basement? Oh wait I bet you're Timothy Leary reincarnate. Say hi to Casteneda next time for me.

10% of brain control is a lie.
Our brain consumes %20 percent of our bodys energy so if we could control our brain at %100 we would need %200 of our bodys energy we dont have that much energy and we cant carry that.Lets say we somehow got that much energy , it will cause our brains grow more and cause that our skulls crush.

There is a serious problem with this logic here. If the brain is 20% of a system, that does not imply the brains running at 20% capacity.

The brain can be 20% of the system and be utilized at capacity.

Lucy ascended, she didn't experience physical death.


Everything you just said is your bullshit subjective perception.  If you're going to discount my words because of my age, then you are suggesting that future generations are getting dumber and that the previous generations are unable to sufficiently educate a species, which evolves, sufficiently.

Age does not equate to knowledge or life experience.  Get off your high horse and read my words for what they mean.  Calling something bullshit demonstrates your lack of understanding, not others.

IF some of yoou believe in god, imagine that god has locked a certain of that brain power so that we wont have powers

We lock it ourselves.  We are gods, we were just conditioned and convinced that we're merely human.

Wow, sounds interesting, I was looking for a movie to watch, I'll watch this now. Thx

PS: Is it like Limitless??

its not about increasing sensory input, its about the use of it. drugs cant the computer brain increasing it capabilitis. its just the illusion of yourself. so lcd is increasing the possibility of seeing yourself, which is built up by the brain, but not the brains capability.

So drugs and brain  capability is BS, so far. lsd is dangerous and creepy. but if you need it , read a book instead to get more input.

LSD is just mild stimulant. If you really want to overclock the noodle try some PCP! (disclaimer: may cause death or insanity and is illegal almost everywhere)

chemicals only make brain cells polluted with particles from inorganic materials.
those materials later time may feel you sick.

See: disclaimer.

On a side note, the drugs are carbon chains in general and I think fall within the classification of organic materials. The inorganic materials found in junkies brains are from the impurities or the junk as it's referred to.

So please, only use USP grade PCP as per scribed by your doctor.  

Less laziness, more productiveness...

less posting, more loan repayment

Less talking, more listening...

Sigh, this isn't the quote the guy above your thread.  ???

Well this is just nonsense. While in theory this would be amazing, since if you managed to use %20 then you'd be super smart or whatever.
That's not how this work.
You need to educate yourself, and these writers need to stop smoking weed and writing.

movie about this: limitless

Yes, this movie is interesting.
and Lucy is so hot   :-*

So X-men member like prof Xavier is someone that use 100% brain capacity.
But how i able to make into 100% ?
is it possible to achieve it ?
Ah...my dream is so high

I like science movie

There are some books that you could use to enhance your memory in order to use more brain power. I have a friend that used it and it made his brain more comfortable remembering things.

Well the Brain has gained over the long time more of volume, then the first such as called human. The Nature never has made such waist of material.
For example: In the beginning the human body has produced Vitamins. He was not on the top of the foot pyramid. Today he has almost no natural enemy's and he is not hunted to bee food of some other live forms. Today the human flesh contains near no Vitamin.
There mid be a significant different in active and passive use.
Consider this as close example:
From your main drive of the used space you can still not find all programs as active in you Task manager. It would most times exceed the the strength of the processor.
Here since the Disc material is not organic it needs no power (food) to survive.
If you close some at the moment not used task the speed of the rest remaining function increases.

By the human you call this focusing on something. (You ignore other influence of the environment).
In coma some times the brain starts to cut of to providing not need body parts. Effect is the lost of the oldest long times not used memories. Mussels.
The cells are still there and can be reanimated in a time window.

The passive part of the brain you can take as economy action of the body. He provides this part with only the need. Like you close the light in a unused store room. Yo switch on the light again, maybe also in the line of the shelfs. If you seek something there.
If the content of this sore room needs a special climate, you close by non use the light but not the acclimatisation.
Equal is you brain. If you want to remember you oldest child memory, you start to concentrate (putting the light on) to this time.
Passing marks floor X Shelf Y Nouveau Z... ( 5 years old, garden, withe ball.. a yea he had blue points, yea i remember i did hold him standing... i think the points where actually hexagons...) If you doe this often you train you memory part.
We store every signal we register through our senses. But we use not all.
You may have learned at school something and passed in a test very poor. On day you need exactly this in you life, you brain makes a recall. Then after a less or more active time, you may come to moments where you say >if i would known this at the test time at school i would have done better.< Well you did know this, just did not find it back on time you focus was not set to this point.

If you look the points of dreamed control you can find back, that all of them not already practiced by some few people.
Shaolin's throw needle's through glass without damaging the glass, there just ignore the existents of the glass (control of material)
Lay hands on people to heal them (control of cells)
Fake medicaments cell self control animation...

So if we use the hole capacity of our brain we need a bigger head to increase our capacity. (more space for the brain has caused in time machine the laying free along spinal column).

What most people really are interested in, is the use of need data which comports the life better any gives more independence.

How can you train this:
Train to seek solution, with increasing levels.
Train you imagination.
* Make you self pictures of you dreams.
* play games like what if
* play or doe reorganize you rooms
* draw things no matter how it looks like you have to know what it should show.

read and make mind maps, recall to read content, recall childhood times.
recall in playing what if....
recognize engineered problems and seek solutions
After a while you may even find solutions for energy problems...

Doe not cook only prepared food. THINK

play what is the next step (The Da Vinci Code).

biggest miss behavior of parents today is to give children only toys of TV series. They start to replay the movies without much imagination. give them Legos or somethings like. Animate them to engineer there played stories. If they are old enough don't give them a doll house or a garage for there  cars, give them Lego's and carton and colors. Work with them through the city to let them look buildings and ask them what they would like to have changed IF...
Sure at best is to seek out you child's talent and support those. If you are a ... what would you doe.

>Change you stars< (A Knight's Tale) You have to focus, on you vision.
You can't reach a point if you don't work on the route leading to this point.

Who the heck quotes Wiki as factual? If you have a brain you realize how bad and biased Wiki is.

First major error in that link, 250 to 300 IQ they state. Really 7 or so super geniuses are thought to exist now on earth and their IQ is capped at 200.

So upper end of GENIUS is 200 IQ and yet here is Wiki stating 250 to 300 IQ.

Wiki sucks

I can't believe I evolved to only use 10% of my brain. That does not sound like nature.

I read a theory once that the world's pyramids were created to enslave humanity to use only 10% of their brains.

This guy had mapped out years ago pyramid's that I had never heard of and he said the grid was like a prison so humans could be controlled and made slaves to entertain the beings that created all these ancient pyramids thousands of years ago, then he put out some math showing how the ancient Giza pyramid was based upon the largest astrological number in our solar system and there was no way Egyptians knew about the number that had only been discovered around 100 years or so ago.

Then he connected the pyramids to pentagrams and showed how mass loss of life events were always on ley lines connected to the pyramids.

Pretty out there stuff, but he did a great job building the case that there was an energy grid controlling human minds to only 10% use of their brains. Years later I saw a show on those new huge pyramids they discovered I think in Turkey and sure enough the scientists have confirmed now all these ancient pyramids are radiating energy they cannot explain with modern science.

His solution was simple, he purposed knocking down every pyramid to stop the power grid from controlling humanity so humanity doesn't destroy itself.

Using 100% of the brain at once has a name. A fit, often seen in epileptics.

lol.  :D

Funny you mention that because just the other day I was talking to a friend about how a couple of times in highschool when I was on LSD I was predicting things before they happened and telling people what they were thinking and freaking people out with these types of abilities.  Another time I was predicting things in the world that were gonna happen and making my friend break down literally into tears when they were coming true because he didn't know how I could come up with such predictions on things and I had explained that when I was tripping out on the LSD it was like my mind was open to everything and I could just think of things and the answers would just come to me :) I also had a bunch of people freaked out at a party once when I predicted exactly when the party would end and the reason why the party would break up and the people who would influence the ending of the party and the reasoning why they were arguing which some people just couldn't believe.  Needless to say I had quite the occult following when it came to taking hallucinogens because everyone wanted to trip out with me and just listen to what I had to say and what I was thinking while I was hallucinating lol anyways found this topic quite interesting and figured I would share my story with people :) Cheers and Have a great day everyone ;)

That seems to be a case of finding what you want to find, if you look in enough different and unrelated places lol.
Where did you see that about pyramids radiating energy that can't be explained? Is there a source for that, or is it from the History Channel? xD

This is not a science movie, this is that special kind of movie; Bullshit...not so special I suppose seems the majority of movies released stink on it.

LMAO you are my HERO Welsh lol That's fucking some funny shit right there lol

LETS COME TO THE FACT WHICH IS  "B4 REACHING 100% BRAIN CAPACITY, U WILL GO MAD N DATS CONFIRM !!!"

Well I do believe they say that their is a fine line between genius and insanity don't they? So people who are too smart often go crazy because they know too much and use too much of their brain

If we only were able to use 10% of our brain, then brain damage would hardly be a problem if that much of our brain is unused.

>implying i don't already

I wish I had lucys powers, to setup an empire before I die. or pass out by that crazy drug in that movie, or make an antidote.

Let us assume we use only 10 % of our brain (which is wrong)
And we live for average 100 years. (not taking into account the effects of what we have done to everything.)

Brain capacity raised to 100% => Life expectancy becomes 100 years * (1/10)^10. ~ 10 minutes.


I am 10% good at math hence the above calculation is 10% accurate.

if I had this ability, I would be abusing it to rob banks  :)

Guys didn't understand this film meaning....

If people can use 100% of their brains, they will be an USB =]]

Only USB can load 100% its memory. Finally Lucy became an USB right ? and the messege "I'm everywhere" :)) lol

I'd be happy with 50% like in the movie. To be able to do all that would be really cool.

I would have tried to freeze the time and eat all the cakes from the pastry shop. :P

You can not use your brains capacity, even worse - most people have not enough developed brains - and they can not develop them. So improving brain capacity will not be available  ;) Just remember fact that many people love to watch TV garbage daily.

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/antigravityworldgrid/images/antigravitywg092.gif (http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/antigravityworldgrid/ciencia_antigravityworldgrid06.htm)

I'm not familiar enough to comment any further on the above, but a lot of the symbolism in the actual movie Lucy that people seem to miss are the Luciferian (as in that of gnostic, "Light-bringer" origins) themes.

if I could do half the things she can do, id start off making some serious money to magic shows.

like that one guy making millions, criss angel.

Pyramids do not constrict energy, they channel energy.  They are amplifiers.

Humans are easily controlled because our desolation from the source, because of our absence of love.  Pyramids connect you to the source.  They align you with the universe.

I would probably try to buy up all the stocks and go into day trading, then use that resource.

pretty much also make a cure as well.

+1 to the absence of love my friend :) I completely agree with you on that one.  People have proven that if you direct your energy to positive and good thoughts and love everything about your life that your life will be better and people who can do this live happier better lives than people who think negatively and hate everything.

If could fire off all the neurons in our brain rapidly, then I'm pretty sure it would act just like an AMD CPU.......

Toasty, smoking, and in need of more thermal paste

i do use 100 % of my brain...

it tells me "buy bitcoin, buy monero".

 8)

I'm thinking that this fact is wrong.

The same, I could say that our heart and blood system works on 100%. However, when you are artificially making intravenous injection with adrenaline this edge breaks. Is not?

Lucy - awesome.

I could point your attention on this moment, when she declined everything except Time.

Say, Time is connected with Space, like Light connected with Lantern.

See,  Spacetime  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime). Do you know such person Einstein, Albert ?

Lucy, said that car can be ignored, however, car constructed from the matter. It has Mass. Then Car is affect on the Time similar to Black-hole's effect or Star named The Sun or planet named The Earth, but a little bit less.

Time and Matter - are connected with each other.

we only use 65% of all BTC and the system is still working.

Not a myth! The doctors are monitoring electronic pulse waves. Yeah our brain sends electronic pulse waves throughout the entire brains. So that is why the whole brain is red on scanners. The doctors do not differentiate between automatic electronic wave signals that keep our system going. Like hearth pumping, liver working, lungs breathing in air and so on.

We have 2 kinds of wave signals in our brain!
Automatic pulse waves to keep body functions going! Only the reason why the whole brain is warm on scanners.
Manual electronics pulse wave functions where synapses are formed through learning.

If every body used brain at 100% capacity.
Why are there some people that sucks at math and some people excel at math?
Why are there good book writer and bad book writers?
Why are there good teachers and bad teachers?
Why are there good leaders and bad leaders?
Why do some high School kids fail the school while some are succeeding school without problems?

If everyone used 100% of their brain. That means there are no dumb people and smart people.
Automatic body pulse waves that keeps us going are not 100% brain usage guys. Our whole brain is warm on scanners only because of these automatic functions.

When you are solving math problems and equation. You are using manual wave pulses. Manual brainwaves synapses needs to be trained in order to achieve abilities.

If we used 100%! Then everybody should be good at The Art Of Drawing Pictures by now. Yet only some people are master artist.
These stupid doctors do not differentiate between manual electronic pulse waves and automatic pulse waves. This is our problem here.
10% brain usages is not a myth. Only dumb people that believes other dumb people.

Playing a football or a basketball activates manual brain waves. Manual brain waves need to be trained in order to achieve brain abilities. That means you are creating synapses and using your brain. Duh huh. Reading books also creates manual brain synapses that gives you abilities to write better in your tongue language.

Well, we do not know that for sure. Our brain is already working, I do not think that adding some more processing would made energy consumption of our brain go skyrocket. At most maybe 2x more energy, not 2000%

@Jetdata people are born different, have different things they have learned and experienced in life, and even the connections in the brain are different from the beginning. You can't expect 100% of brain use to mean everyone will perform the same way. That doesn't make sense.

It is true we use 100% of the brain. But those are 100% of the automatic brain functions.
The manual electronic pulse waves needs to be activated through training.

Electronic pulse waves 100%
Manual pulse waves are only 1% by birth. And about 10% by the age of 18!

People have problems differentiating between manual and electronic pulse waves. '
And BTW! Wikipedia is not 100% facts. And listening to American professors are not 100% facts either. In fact American professors are in reality dumber than European professors. I have been studying the brain for 10 years. And I have to say. Stupid Americans spreading false information.

I didn't watch the movie. I'd heard that it wasn't that good, so I didn't go.

I don't know if the Wikipedia article addresses the point the way people understand it. I think that people are considering using their whole brain in ways that are similar to when a part of the brain is actively functioning in a concentrated effort.

Anyway, It reminded me of Isaac Asimov's Pebble in the Sky. A quote from the book is below. Enjoy:
:)

90% of the brain cannot be used for critical thinking. Most of the human brain is similar to dinosaur brains. Only the thin outer layer on the top and front differentiates humans from other animals.

Well, that follows, considering that 97% of the mammalian DNA of humans is exactly the same as the DNA of all other mammals.

:)

Is there really exist the relevant between the brain activity and surround environment ?

See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra

yeah it's a good movie, much better than Lucy in my opinion.

with enough LSD and MDMA you can already use most of your brain's capacity ;)

LOL i hope you're joking

Using of 100% brain is possible. But not with CPH4 as shown in LUCY.

As it is unknown to human beings that on what behalf they are calculating the percentage of brain using but everything has its 100%.

It is only possible to calculate the brain using if man has proper scale for it.

As brain is not developed by human so it is very difficult to make its scale.

If somebody really want to understand about the scale and its uses % then he has to work on roots of this theory. It should be in reverse order.

????????????????//

You do use all your brain. By this logic I could cut away the overwhelming majority of my brain and be fine. This was never thought to be true by anyone who studies the brain. It's Oprah level crap.

I will start mining bitcoins. :)

I won't be affected like Lucy. I have awesome self-control.  ;D

Just like it said in the Sorcers Apprentice, if we could use 75% of our brain, we could have set things on fire.... :P :P

If you could use 100% of your brain you would know that the 10% usage myth is a lie.

While this 10% thing is a lie, supposing that we sudddenly could have 10x more of our brain capacity the great majority of people would still waste their time in social media and wouldn't make much change, in my opinion.

perfect answer because most of people now are lazy and don't want to work physically all they want is to sit in front of computer or holding their gadgets and browsing anything new in social medias and their online activities.
brain must be used accordingly and not just for Sh*ts like social medias.
exactly ,and for me?it is not only 10% instead 30% of it are all lies .

People use 100% of their brain all the time. But what do they use it for? Certainly not conscious thinking.

If a person used 100% of his brain for conscious thinking, he would probably kill himself for lack of being able to control his bodily functions by thought.

It seems that it is the quantity and quality of the various connections in the brain that are responsible for greater thinking. Watch this:

For this to happen, we need a faster medium for our thoughts.  I read the brain has evolved to the maximum size it can with our only having a single consciousness.   Memories seem unlimited, but if you want increased processing power and the "instant" data you feel now, you'll have to transfer your physical brain to a physical device.  Light is faster than neurons.

I accept as true with you a person can never completely control his brain during this case his death is inevitable. Bren never wanted to require the pressure off of himself. She always wants to hold less pressure therein case if people have 100% control then the brain will worsen and go crazy.
