About this listen

“We only use 10% of our brains.”

You’ve probably heard that before, maybe in a movie, a classroom, or a TED Talk. But it’s not true. Not even a little.

In this episode of What We Thought We Knew, we explore where the myth came from, why it stuck around for over a century, and what modern neuroscience actually reveals about how our brains work.

The truth? It’s even more fascinating than the fiction.
