I know it's kind of thought of as a myth, but I was having an argument with someone about it. I thought I read somewhere that Einstein said he thought he only used about 3% of his brain; or as little as 3%. But everywhere I look all I can find is 10%.

I asked a friend of mine, a neurobiologist about this, once. She said it's a myth, pretty much as you'd expect. Much of brain activity has nothing to do with the conscious mind, but is occupied in a huge variety of body controlling and monitoring activities. We just like to think of the ego, "ourself," as the brain; and we're not. We're actually the whole mix.
