Science article 'sponsored' by software company...

Then I am sure Lucy is your favorite movie : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(2014_film)

Wasnt there a coloration with the European Space Agency? there were videos explaining space training and so on...

Isn't lucy actually all about the 10% of the brain bullshit?

It is bullshit, some people use substantially less.  

The cure is worse than the disease.

I like those kinds of articles. Bringing hard science to video games can't hurt, though I don't want developers to drop the sci-fi part either. I love sci-fi. It's been an integral part of my life since I was a kid and the stories built around it can be just as amazing as the ingenuity in creating new technology to build that story around.

There is the the 90's emo movie called "Powder".  Pretty sure it was all about the 10% brain thing too...  


Also...in regards to thread topic, I just wanted to point out that scientists are increasingly trying to reach out to folks.  When we develop proposals for funding, it is super important to have an innovative and meaty "Broader Impacts" section to detail creative ways to make our research more accessible to the public.  Some people have really amazing ideas about this (I personally suck at it, and my stuff has been mostly working with local communities to create interactive displays and educational materials). But think how many more people you could get interested in science by integrating movies and video games into outreach?  This may be something along those lines...

Nah the thing that combine 10% brain (maybe less than that) and john travolta is Battlefield earth, my god was that a masterpiece of filmmaking...

It's something like that.  We use all parts of our brain, but we tend to only have a certain amount noticeably active at any given time, depending on what we're currently doing.  But more brain activity doesn't mean funky powers, because there aren't really "dormant" or "untapped" regions. 

I mean I think it's possible for our brains to evolve into being able to do more, sure, but not because of % brain usage haha.
