Brain Myths vs. Facts

Mysteries of our Mind (Myth vs Fact)

How much do you know about the brain? This fun fact quiz does just that. 
1. According to cognitive neuroscientists, we are X% percent conscious of our cognitive activity, while Y% percent of our cognition (decisions, actions, emotions, and behavior) depends on unconscious brain activity that we are unaware of.

Pick the best option for X% and Y%. *This question is required.
2. People are dominant on one side of the brain than the other. The Left-brain thinkers are more analytical, logical and objective. The Right-brain thinkers are more intuitive, creative and subjective. In psychology, the theory is based on the lateralization of brain function. *This question is required.
3. Being unfocused and day dreaming is a sign of a person's weakness of cognitve control. We term the word "scatter brain" to people who seem unfocused, as we are capable of being focused whenever we want to. *This question is required.
4. 90% of our brain has not been tapped into, as we only use 10% of our brain (about 2 tablespoon). Researches are baffled at what else more the brain can do if only we can unlock all of the brains capacities, like tapping into deep intuition and telekinesis. *This question is required.
