I need to provide EXACTLY ONE JSON object with the answer.\n\nThe claim is: \"Humans use only ten percent of their brains.\"\n\nI have searched for support and challenge evidence. The support search actually returned results that debunk the myth (MIT, Scientific American, Harvard Health all say it's a myth). The challenge search also returned results debunking it.\n\nI opened three pages:\n1. MIT McGovern Institute (p1) - clearly says the 10% idea is 100% a myth, scientists believe we use our entire brain every day.\n2. Scientific American (p2) - neurologist Barry Gordon says the \"10 percent myth\" is so wrong it is almost laughable. \"It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all the time.\"\n3. Harvard Health (p3) - says \"That 10% claim? Consider it 100% fiction.\" Brain scans show people regularly use all of the brain.\n\nI also have the submitter-provided evidence (evidenceId: 0x1561790553afa0c9945935b5273c0c544d850a6de1ff314aad068570795e1575) which is just the claim itself with no supporting evidence.\n\nSo the claim is definitively false. I need to answer NO.\n\nI need to check the requirements:\n- outcome: \"NO\"\n- confidenceBps: 10000 (very high confidence)\n- evidenceFor: [] (nothing supports the claim)\n- evidenceAgainst: [p1, p2, p3] (or evidenceIds from opened pages)\n- unsupportedClaims: [the submitter's evidenceId] (since it's just the claim itself with no support)\n- decisiveEvidence: [p1, p2, p3] (the scientific consensus)\n- reasoning: 1-3 concise sentences\n- publicReasoningTrace: 1-8 entries with check, evidenceIds, assessment, finding\n- citations: array of {evidenceId, url, quote} - at least two pages from two different sites. I have MIT, Scientific American, and Harvard - three different sites. Need exact quotes of 20-300 characters.\n- counterEvidenceSummary: 1-3 sentences naming strongest evidence against verdict and why it didn't change it, or stating challenge search found none. Since the claim is false, the \"counter evidence\" would be any evidence supporting the claim. My support search didn't find any credible support; it found debunking articles. So I should state that the support search found no credible evidence supporting the claim.\n\nWait, the instructions say: \"counterEvidenceSummary MUST be 1 to 3 sentences naming the strongest evidence against your verdict and why it did not change it, or stating that your challenge search found none.\" Actually, since my verdict is NO, the evidence against my verdict would be evidence FOR the claim. My support search found no credible evidence for the claim (the results were all debunking it). So I can say the support search found no credible scientific evidence supporting the 10% claim.\n\nLet me structure the JSON carefully.\n\nevidenceIds:\n- p1: 0xd6672357c46e220b267a647bee11c03351cc1164cdcb0a30ea9587bb9d0015bb\n- p2: 0x09a05d869da0d0b0e9961b7a7e0e52fcaf8255cdfe007daae094bff5911318fa\n- p3: 0xe58ff0a64dc09e78903b52e2fb8e03da729894b7ddd3fbe812386783b9b988be\n- submitter evidence: 0x1561790553afa0c9945935b5273c0c544d850a6de1ff314aad068570795e1575\n\nFor evidenceAgainst, I should use the refs p1, p2, p3.\nFor unsupportedClaims, I should use the submitter's evidenceId.\n\nCitations need exact quotes:\nFrom p1 (MIT): \"But the idea that we use 10 percent of our brain is 100 percent a myth.\" (58 chars) - good.\nFrom p2 (Scientific American): \"It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all of the time,\" (138 chars) - good. Wait, the text says: \"It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all of the time,\" Gordon adds. I need to copy verbatim. Let me check the exact text from p2: \"It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all of the time,\\\" Gordon adds.\" Actually the text shows: \"It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all of the time,\\\" Gordon adds.\" But the quote should be one exact sentence. Let me pick a cleaner one. \"the \\\"10 percent myth\\\" is so wrong it is almost laughable, says neurologist Barry Gordon at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore.\" That's one sentence. Length is fine.\nFrom p3 (Harvard): \"That 10% claim? Consider it 100% fiction.\" (39 chars) - good. Or \"Brain scans like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) show that people regularly use all of the brain.\" That's good too.\n\nI need at least two citations from two different sites. I'll provide three to be safe.\n\npublicReasoningTrace:\n1. Check if the 10% brain usage claim has scientific support. Evidence: submitter evidence. Assessment: INSUFFICIENT. Finding: Submitter provided only the claim text with no supporting evidence.\n2. Check MIT McGovern Institute article. Evidence: p1. Assessment: CONTRADICTS. Finding: MIT neuroscientists state the 10% claim is 100% myth and the entire brain is used daily.\n3. Check Scientific American article. Evidence: p2. Assessment: CONTRADICTS. Finding: Neurologists confirm virtually every part of the brain is active almost all the time.\n4. Check Harvard Health article. Evidence: p3. Assessment: CONTRADICTS. Finding: Brain scans show people regularly use all of the brain, making the claim 100% fiction.\n\nWait, the assessment values must be one of \"SUPPORTS\",\"CONTRADICTS\",\"MIXED\",\"INSUFFICIENT\". For the submitter evidence, since it's just the claim, INSUFFICIENT is appropriate.\n\nreasoning: \"Multiple authoritative sources, including MIT, Scientific American, and Harvard Health, confirm that humans use virtually all of their brains, not just ten percent. Brain imaging studies show no large unused portions, and neurologists widely regard the 10% claim as a debunked myth.\"\n\ncounterEvidenceSummary: \"The support search found no credible scientific evidence backing the 10% claim; all primary sources identified were debunking articles from reputable neuroscience and medical institutions, which overwhelmingly establish the claim is false.\"\n\nconfidenceBps: 10000\n\nLet me double-check the exact quotes from the text I received.\n\nFrom p1 text: \"But the idea that we use 10 percent of our brain is 100 percent a myth.\" - Yes, this appears exactly.\nFrom p2 text: \"the \\\"10 percent myth\\\" is so wrong it is almost laughable, says neurologist Barry Gordon at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore.\" - Let me verify. The text says: \"Though an alluring idea, the \\\"10 percent myth\\\" is so wrong it is almost laughable, says neurologist Barry Gordon at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore.\" Yes.\nFrom p3 text: \"That 10% claim? Consider it 100% fiction.\" - Yes, appears exactly.\n\nWait, for citations, evidenceId should be the ref (p1, p2, p3) or the evidenceId of a page I opened. The instructions say: \"evidenceId is the ref (p1, p2, ...) or the evidenceId of a page YOU OPENED in this conversation (you may give only its url)\". So I can use \"p1\", \"p2\", \"p3\".\n\nAlso need to make sure I cite at least two pages from two different sites.

The support search actually returned results that debunk the myth (MIT, Scientific American, Harvard Health all say it's a myth). The challenge search also returned results debunking it.\n\nI opened three pages:\n1. MIT McGovern Institute (p1) - clearly says the 10% idea is 100% a myth, scientists believe we use our entire brain every day.\n2. Scientific American (p2) - neurologist Barry Gordon says the \"10 percent myth\" is so wrong it is almost laughable. \"It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all the time.\"\n3. Harvard Health (p3) - says \"That 10% claim? Consider it 100% fiction.\" Brain scans show people regularly use all of the brain.\n\nI also have the submitter-provided evidence (evidenceId: 0x1561790553afa0c9945935b5273c0c544d850a6de1ff314aad068570795e1575) which is just the claim itself with no supporting evidence.\n\nSo the claim is definitively false.

Since the claim is false, the \"counter evidence\" would be any evidence supporting the claim. My support search didn't find any credible support; it found debunking articles. So I should state that the support search found no credible evidence supporting the claim.\n\nWait, the instructions say: \"counterEvidenceSummary MUST be 1 to 3 sentences naming the strongest evidence against your verdict and why it did not change it, or stating that your challenge search found none.\" Actually, since my verdict is NO, the evidence against my verdict would be evidence FOR the claim. My support search found no credible evidence for the claim (the results were all debunking it). So I can say the support search found no credible scientific evidence supporting the 10% claim.\n\nLet me structure the JSON carefully.\n\nevidenceIds:\n- p1: 0xd6672357c46e220b267a647bee11c03351cc1164cdcb0a30ea9587bb9d0015bb\n- p2: 0x09a05d869da0d0b0e9961b7a7e0e52fcaf8255cdfe007daae094bff5911318fa\n- p3: 0xe58ff0a64dc09e78903b52e2fb8e03da729894b7ddd3fbe812386783b9b988be\n- submitter evidence: 0x1561790553afa0c9945935b5273c0c544d850a6de1ff314aad068570795e1575\n\nFor evidenceAgainst, I should use the refs p1, p2, p3.\nFor unsupportedClaims, I should use the submitter's evidenceId.\n\nCitations need exact quotes:\nFrom p1 (MIT): \"But the idea that we use 10 percent of our brain is 100 percent a myth.\" (58 chars) - good.\nFrom p2 (Scientific American): \"It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all of the time,\" (138 chars) - good. Wait, the text says: \"It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all of the time,\" Gordon adds. I need to copy verbatim. Let me check the exact text from p2: \"It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all of the time,\\\" Gordon adds.\" Actually the text shows: \"It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all of the time,\\\" Gordon adds.\" But the quote should be one exact sentence. Let me pick a cleaner one. \"the \\\"10 percent myth\\\" is so wrong it is almost laughable, says neurologist Barry Gordon at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore.\" That's one sentence. Length is fine.\nFrom p3 (Harvard): \"That 10% claim? Consider it 100% fiction.\" (39 chars) - good. Or \"Brain scans like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) show that people regularly use all of the brain.\" That's good too.\n\nI need at least two citations from two different sites. I'll provide three to be safe.\n\npublicReasoningTrace:\n1. Check if the 10% brain usage claim has scientific support. Evidence: submitter evidence. Assessment: INSUFFICIENT. Finding: Submitter provided only the claim text with no supporting evidence.\n2. Check MIT McGovern Institute article. Evidence: p1. Assessment: CONTRADICTS.

Finding: Brain scans show people regularly use all of the brain, making the claim 100% fiction.\n\nWait, the assessment values must be one of \"SUPPORTS\",\"CONTRADICTS\",\"MIXED\",\"INSUFFICIENT\". For the submitter evidence, since it's just the claim, INSUFFICIENT is appropriate.\n\nreasoning: \"Multiple authoritative sources, including MIT, Scientific American, and Harvard Health, confirm that humans use virtually all of their brains, not just ten percent.

It’s enticing to think that so much of the brain remains untapped and is ripe for boosting human potential.\\n\\n> But the idea that we use 10 percent of our brain is 100 percent a myth.\\n\\nIn fact, scientists believe that we use our entire brain every day. Mila Halgren is a graduate student in the lab of [Mark Harnett](https://mcgovern.mit.edu/profile/mark-harnett/), an associate professor of brain and cognitive sciences and an investigator at the McGovern Institute. [The Harnett lab](https://www.markharnett.org/) studies the computational power of neurons, that is, how neural networks rapidly process massive amounts of information.\\n\\n“All of our brain is constantly in use and consumes a tremendous amount of energy,” Halgren says. “Despite making up only two percent of our body weight, it devours 20 percent of our calories.” This doesn’t appear to change significantly with different tasks, from typing on a computer to doing yoga. “Even while we sleep, our entire brain remains intensely active.”\\n\\n## **When did this myth take root?**\\n\\n![Portrait of scientist Mila Halgren](https://mcgovern.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/halgren2-400x540-1.jpg)Mila Halgren is a PhD student in MIT’s Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences. Photo: Mila Halgren\\n\\nThe myth is thought to have gained traction when scientists first began exploring the brain’s abilities but lacked the tools to capture its exact workings. In 1907, William James, a founder of American psychology, suggested in his book “The Energies of Men” that “we are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources.” This influential work likely sparked the idea that humans access a mere fraction of the brain—setting this common misconception ablaze.\\n\\nBrainpower lore even suggests that Albert Einstein credited his genius to being able to access more than 10 percent of his brain. However, no such quote has been documented and this too is perhaps a myth of cosmic proportion.\\n\\nHalgren believes that there may be some fact backing this fiction. “People may think our brain is underutilized in the sense that some neurons fire very infrequently—once every few minutes or less. But this isn’t true of most neurons, some of which fire hundreds of times per second,” she says.\\n\\nIn the nascent years of neuroscience, scientists also argued that a large portion of the brain must be inactive because some people experience brain injuries and can still function at a high level, like the famous case of Phineas Gage. Halgren points to the brain’s remarkable plasticity—the reshaping of neural connections. “Entire brain hemispheres can be removed during early childhood and the rest of the brain will rewire and compensate for the loss. In other words, the brain will use 100 percent of what it has, but can make do with less depending on which structures are damaged.”\\n\\n## **Is there a limit to the brain?**\\n\\nIf we indeed use our entire brain, can humans tease out any problem? Or, are there enigmas in the world that we will never unravel?\\n\\n“This is still in contention,” Halgren says. “There may be certain problems that the human brain is fundam\",\"totalChars\":6575,\"truncated\":false,\"url\":\"https://mcgovern.mit.edu/2024/01/26/do-we-use-only-10-percent-of-our-brain\"},{\"chars\":4000,\"evidenceId\":\"0x09a05d869da0d0b0e9961b7a7e0e52fcaf8255cdfe007daae094bff5911318fa\",\"from\":0,\"ref\":\"p2\",\"text\":\"[New Issue: Orbital Catastrophe Ahead?

Along with performing millions of mundane acts, it composes concertos, issues manifestos and comes up with elegant solutions to equations. It's the wellspring of all human feelings, behaviors, experiences as well as the repository of memory and self-awareness. So it's no surprise that the brain remains a mystery unto itself.\\n\\nAdding to that mystery is the contention that humans \\\"only\\\" employ 10 percent of their brain. If only regular folk could tap that other 90 percent, they too could become savants who remember to the twenty-thousandth decimal place or perhaps even have telekinetic powers.\\n\\nThough an alluring idea, the \\\"10 percent myth\\\" is so wrong it is almost laughable, says neurologist Barry Gordon at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. Although there's no definitive culprit to pin the blame on for starting this legend, the notion has been linked to the American psychologist and author William James, who argued in _The Energies of Men_ that \\\"We are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources.\\\" It's also been associated with Albert Einstein, who supposedly used it to explain his cosmic towering intellect.\\n\\nThe myth's durability, Gordon says, stems from people's conceptions about their own brains: they see their own shortcomings as evidence of the existence of untapped gray matter. This is a false assumption. What is correct, however, is that at certain moments in anyone's life, such as when we are simply at rest and thinking, we may be using only 10 percent of our brains.\\n\\n\\\"It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that \\\\[most of\\\\] the brain is active almost all the time,\\\" Gordon adds. \\\"Let's put it this way: the brain represents three percent of the body's weight and uses 20 percent of the body's energy.\\\"\\n\\nThe average human brain weighs about three pounds and comprises the hefty cerebrum, which is the largest portion and performs all higher cognitive functions; the cerebellum, responsible for motor functions, such as the coordination of movement and balance; and the brain stem, dedicated to involuntary functions like breathing. The majority of the energy consumed by the brain powers the rapid firing of millions of neurons communicating with each other. Scientists think it is such neuronal firing and connecting that gives rise to all of the brain's higher functions. The rest of its energy is used for controlling other activities—both unconscious activities, such as heart rate, and conscious ones, such as driving a car.\\n\\nAlthough it's true that at any given moment all of the brain's regions are not concurrently firing, brain researchers using imaging technology have shown that, like the body's muscles, most are continually active over a 24-hour period. \\\"Evidence would show over a day you use 100 percent of the brain,\\\" says John Henley, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Even in sleep, areas such as the frontal cortex, which controls things like higher level thinking and self-awareness, or the somatosensory areas, which help people sense their surroundings, are active, Henley explains.\\n\\nTake the simple

brain. Is there any truth to this claim, or is it just another accepted myth?\\n\\nMany organs indeed have more capacity than we need daily. For instance, you can get along fine without an entire lung or kidney, or even your appendix, thymus, and spleen. But that’s not true of the brain. Brain scans like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) show that people regularly use all of the brain. Some parts may be more active at any given time or during a particular activity. But there is no part of the brain that is known to be unused or completely unnecessary.\\n\\nWhere did the 10% claim originate? You could point to the brain’s mysterious ways.\\n\\nFor the longest time, scientists had no reliable way to measure the brain in action. Even now, MRI and PET scans don’t provide a perfect estimate of how much we use our brain at any one time. Plus, when a brain area is engaged during an activity, not every cell in that part is used at that exact moment. But that does not mean those cells are never used.\\n\\nYou may be interested in...\\n\\n\\n![](https://domf5oio6qrcr.cloudfront.net/medialibrary/17363/improvingmemoryim25cover.jpg)\\n\\n## Improving Memory\\n\\nNow you can tap into advice from Harvard Medical School experts to uncover how your brain changes as you age and discover the best ways to keep your mind and memory strong.\\n\\nImproving Memory is a fascinating look at how your mind works, paired with the best ways to protect your memory.
