According to a survey , around 65 percent of population believe that we only use 10 percent of our brain.

But this is just a myth, majority of the brain is almost always active.

The 10 percent myth was also debunked in a study.

One common brain imaging technique, called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), can measure activity in the brain while a person is performing different tasks.

Using this and similar methods, researchers show that most of our brain is in use most of the time, even when a person is performing a very simple action.

A lot of the brain is even active when a person is resting or sleeping.

The percentage of the brain in use at any given time varies from person to person. It also depends on what a person is doing or thinking about
