do you think your brain does stuff that you dont know about?

do you think your brain does stuff that you dont know about? They say your only use 10% of your brain at a time. So 90% of the stuff your brain does something you dont know about. Some people will be counting then do an astral projection and when they come back their brain would still be counting at the same pace it was. I think thats one way to tell that your brain does stuff that you dont know about.

I think of it like your brain multitasking. When you take away your ability to control your body you go onto another task. Like in a dream.

Be cool to uses 100% of you brain at all times then you'd have some supernatual abilities.

Of course it does. You don't think to breathe, blink, pump your heart, etc. You're brain is always doing things subconsciously.

You had me up until astral projection. But yes, It's called the subconscious.

Of course it does.

For example, the balance organ in the inner ear consists of 3 tubes at right angles to each other and filled with fluid. Depending on whether you are looking up or down, the fluid in the tubes sends signals to the brain indicating the location of the fluid, and the brain decodes those signals into a sense of "up and down".

Also, the optic center conducts some trigonometric calculations in order to apply depth perception to the signals that your eyes send to your brain.

So if I got around to getting into my subconscious thoughts I could tell my body to stop the heart from beating. That would be scary if you woke up telling your heart to stop.

Yes, yes.

I mean stuff that you dont know that your brain does that you dont know.

This is a commonly misunderstood statistic. You only use 10% of your brain at a time because that's the portion of your brain concerned with your current activity. If you want to know what it would be like to use 100% of your brain at the same time, consider what it would be like to contract every single muscle in your body at the same time. That's not the path to superpowers; that's the path to a rather major cramp.

Well, it's still less than 100%, which is the point.

Yes... that was my point.

I must not be communicating it very well. :P

Doesn't work like that.

I remember reading in the National Geographic once about a tribe in Africa (I think it was) that could literally will themselves to die somehow and I think it was by slowing their heart rate down until it stopped. I wish I remembered more about it because I was quite young when I read it and I would be fascinated to learn more about that now.

TC I find it interesting to think that the brain could be doing a whole number of things the we don't know about. Sure obviously it is always controlling bodily function, but as a human race we are aware that it does so, despite not generally thinking about it on an individual level. Maybe our brains are actually communicating with the Moon or something! I think it's entirely possible our understanding of the brain in particular is painfully inadequate.

Yeah. When I put my head down and clear my mind I feel things going through my brain. Not much of a feeling but a sense of it. I feel energy and thoughts passing through without me thinking of anything.

I wonder if our brains defragment things o.o
