We do see patients who are using 100% of their brain – this happens during some types of epileptic seizure and is not much fun.
Here is a video showing how brain activity increases during a seizure

Thankfully doctors have special drugs that can stop this from happening !

Greg commented on :
The chaotic electrical activity in her brain were activating the parts that control her muscle movements. We can usually stop this very easily with medication.

Have you seen the film Lucy? If so is there any evidence that suggests using the right parts of your brain you could control your physical appearance and matter around you?
