      Hi bennyb, we do use all of our brain. When I took neuroscience and we learned about the different parts of the brain and what they do, I was amazed because I was under the impression we didn’t use 100%. If you can get access to a brain scan of your brain in action, you can see the colours where different parts of the brain are being activated. It shows that we use different parts when we do different activities.

      I don’t know, but I’m sure it helps to have some spare processing capacity in there.. so even if it’s not used all the time, different processes will be running in different areas..
