I thought bullshit too. After all, why would chemical reactions in the brain stop? But after a bit of thinking and Googling, I stumbled upon this https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2020/aug/energy-demands-limit-our... Not saying that only X% of our brain is being used, but what it essentially says is that our brain is power-limited, and therefore, it has to be selective in which parts to "turn on". It makes a lot of sense, there are few things in life more important than energy and power management, and human brains already need lots of both. |
