Philosophy : "Powers of he brain"

How can you explain that we use only 10% of the possibilities of our brain ?

We use our entire brain! That's why we have our entire brain!
However, there used to be an epilepsy treatment where a person would have the wire of neurons separating the left and right hemispheres of the brain cut. You can learn more about that in this video: https://ww w.youtube.com/watch?v=wfYbgdo8e-8

That's actually not true. That's one of the most common "lies we all believe". We use all of our brain. OTOH, we can't use all of our brain at the same time. If every neuron fired at the same time, a seizure would certainly be the result.
