The human being uses practically 100 percent of the brain to carry out any activity, according to neurologists, which completely dismantles the argument of the what and turns it into mere science fiction.
In fact, it is a myth that human beings only use 10 percent of their brain, as explained by the director of the Culture area of the Spanish Society of Neurology (SEN), Jesús Porta. “It’s a myth that Albert Einstein spread in the 19th century, facilitating popular ignorance,” he says.
Therefore, the movie ‘Lucy’ It is based on an incorrect premise because “in the functional imaging tests performed on patients, the entire brain is seen to be activated,” says Dr. Porta.
From an evolutionary point of view, this myth has no place since if the remaining 90 percent of the brain were not really used, its existence would not make sense. Therefore, ‘Lucy’s’ argument, which is based on the fact that if the brain were used 100 percent, the human being would develop a series of capacities that he currently does not have, is pure fiction. “Human beings do not have telepathic or telekinetic abilities. nor will he ever have it, nor does he need to because that’s why we have the remote control,” the doctor humorously points out.
In addition, this evidence can be verified in tests that have been carried out on patients since, for example, “in a person with Parkinson’s, the substantia nigra that degenerates is 2 percent of the brain,” says Jesús Porta. In the same way, a patient with Alzheimer’s “has 90 percent of his brain perfect,” adds the doctor.
