You mean whales and birds aren't the only creatures with a capability for geonavigation? Cool!

It's a myth that we only use 10% of our brain. We use our entire brain (most of us, anyway).

	But this sounds like another unfounded New Age delusion of immediate enlightenment to me. I’ve come across a million theories like this on the conspiracy forums, 99% of which is utter crap.

ding ding ding!

Based on? And who are the minority which don't?

at any given moment, only about ten percent of your brain shows significant activity. Different tasks will cause different patterns of activation. Over time, most of your brain will show activity.

Wasn't so much the 10% thing, more the 'we use our entire brain' comment. Most is not all. Understanding of the entire system is still limited. The question arises, whether we use it or it uses us. I'm inclined to go with both, in degrees, but this is probably going way beyond the thread's scope.

The brain trims unused neurons in a process called apoptosis. People that are deprived of things like social contact, language learning, and reading generally have smaller brains. Pretty much, you use what you got, otherwise it gets trimmed.

"Scientists in Russia recently isolated mice from the natural magnetic field, essentially in a Faraday cage, and over time they noticed the mice became more hostile, poorer working memory, and other personality changes, as compared against a control group. It stands to reason that any measurable change in the natural magnetic field we are used to could have an impact - though not likely a significant one.

This reminds me of something I read in the trilogy "the golden compass". The child was separated from his twin (his animal companion), and the affects of that, also the books preoccupation with the aurora/northern lights...the medical/brain type research...the Arctic. You put these together and it hints at magnetic fields. Isn't there a research facility that plays around with that stuff in the arctic too.
The books hint at alot of things, but what...or is it simply a story.

Russia has pursued most anything you can think of when it comes to extending science. For example, it was their work that made US intelligence so uncomfortable the the US began scientific work of their own. Remote Viewing is what such work has become known as in the non-intelligence communities.

So, you are musing about a film which is based on a book, eh ? There's an old adage, which comes to mind, 'Truth is stranger than fiction'.
