What percentage of your brain do you use? - International Brain Awareness Week
Today is Day 4 of International Brain Awareness Week 2018. Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is the world-wide campaign to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research, and the “brain-child” of The DANA Foundation. The Perth Brain Centre is proud to be an official partner of International Brain Awareness Week 2018, and every day this week we are sharing some of the amazing benefits of brain research.
Most people think that we only use 10% of our brain, watch this great video from TEDEd, and find out if this is really true...

It is now recognized as a fundamental issue regarding how all brains perceive.
