Crim...No...

That kind of misguided thinking is precisely why the movie, Lucy, failed.

We use in the range of 7-11% of our brain beyond this we can only speculate

read the fifty first dragon. perfect example of the placebo effect.

Its only an opinion, saying it is misguided, is misguided. Btw Idk that movie.

Crim is correct humans do Not use near the entirety of the brain and thanks to research speculation and mild human testing we now believe the average percentage is
7-11%

Please show me to some proof.

Well Huffington post says 16% at any given time guess the percentages are off, obviously doing extremely strenuous thought based activities will raise the percentage a bit.

Truth is we never use all of the brains resources like you would never over exert the processing power of your pc (if you're using your brain anyway .-.)

The myth lies in the thought that these parts of the brain are locked up.

We use most of the area of the brain just not at the same time.

Also, it is a theory/myth so it may or may not be true. So instead of arguing if it is right, lets assume it is right and carry on to how it supports the Placebo affect

lets assume it is right and carry on to how it supports the Placebo affect :)

Not sure how that helps anything... If "it" is not agreed to be right, then "it won't support the Placebo effect."

Anyways, thanks for clearing that up Michael. The "at any given moment" is the key phrase a lot of people forget to include/understand...I got confused by that. Makes much more sense now. HuffPost is hardly any 'evidence' but I'm pretty sure you are right.

Placebo effect? Yep, it's real. Lots of testimonies and evidence to back that up.

I saw a video on this, there was a test where people were given a placebo for a drug that gave side effects and they actually felt the same effects as those taking the real one.
