So, basically I work on cognitive neuroscience which you can think of interaction between psychology and neuroscience. And I have to submit a PhD proposal application for DAAD funding before 20th Oct, and prospective supervisor asked to do last minute changes. I have to rework on whole proposal now by tonight, scraping off 2/3rd of the proposal and adding few new studies related to EEG and brain activity.
So, is it true that people only use a small percentage of their brain or people are just that stupid?
Just kidding :)
Good luck getting that DAAD.

Hahahh, that's very much true that we use only a small %age of our brain out of everything it is capable of doing, but mainly because we are not exposed to such environments that helps us grow. We call it "BRAIN PLASTICITY" in scientific terms. You will find this very interesting, just google
