How much of your brain do you use?

According to some studies, its seems that we humans only use 10% of our brains, but turns out there was no study ever.

I don't use 100% of my computer, ever. Even at 100% CPU load, in any one clock cycle there's still some transistors in the CPU and some chips on the motherboard that are inactive. The brain is the same - at any one time we might have at most 50% of the neurons actively firing, if 100% were firing all at the same time you'd want to get to a hospital fast, since you'd be having a seizure.
