Understanding the 10% Brain Myth

The video debunks the myth that humans use only 10% of their brains. It explains that neurons in the brain fire sparsely, which might have led to the misconception. However, this does not mean the brain is underutilized. Neurons being silent can still convey information, and most of the brain is active most of the time.
