100 % Brain activity would equal total burnout

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2017)

I liked the film. stylish and nicely tempo-ed, good entertainment. Now concerning the fantasy of obtaining 100% brain activity. I don't think that is possible. first of all, the brain is not purely intellectual. a large part of the brain is controlling hormones and chemical stuff in the body. Lucy says she can control all of that, by changing her hair color and growing the hair long in an instant. How can you cognitively "know" when to force the body to produce a hormone ? and Dolphins have a sonar, however they have a large organ to project the waves, humans haven't, at least not that developed ( needs to be investigated !) However to use 100% of your brain, would be a complete burnout of the brain. In the interviews after the film there's a neural scientist that says there are many drugs that are intellectually or cognitive, like Ritalin. however I have seen people on Ritalin. And after a blissful high, they go rock bottom and needs several days of rest, to get back in balance . the drug in the film was a natural pregnancy drug, that seemingly females produce once pregnant. Just like the body can produce endorphin when were in love. I would say that if humans is to use 20 % of their brain, the brain first of all must be double in size, then still use 10% of that double size, that would be 20% of our brain mass. the problem is not the 10% of the brain. but realizing a good idea and pull it off, not being "afraid" and impose too many barriers on the natural behavior. I think the movie was good entertainment.
