Respectfully, I think you are mistaken. Could you provide a reference please?t3gah said:The study I'm referring to is from the year 2000.
Theres an old myth that we only use 10 percent of our brains, but researchers at the University of Rochester have found in reality that roughly 80 percent of our cognitive power may be cranking away on tasks completely unknown to us.
the rest of the article can be found here: http://www.rochester.edu/news/show.php?id=1898This means that in adults, there is a tremendous amount of real-world processing going on80 percentwhen there is nothing to process, says Weliky. We think that if youve got your eyes closed, your visual processing is pretty much at zero, and that when you open them, youre running at 100 percent. This suggests that with your eyes closed, your visual processing is already running at 80 percent, and that opening your eyes only adds the last 20 percent. The big question here is what is the brain doing when its idling, because its obviously doing something important.

I never said 10 percent. I said 1 to 5 percent.painted wolf said:er, this study is about how to watch the brain function using nano-tec. While a worthwhile and facinating study I'm not sure that it supports your 10% idea.
I wonder if they really will manage to make a 'camera' that small... they are doing some very interesting things with C60 (buckminsterfullerine) in producing nanostructures.
If it works we will be a step closer to both cybernetics, quantum computing and artifical inteligence.
