I recently posted an update to my "How Much Brain Do You Actually Use" page as a current response to a new book by Sam Wang "Welcome To Your Brain".
It's a somewhat conventional, albeit useful look at the brain in 2008, and I appreciate anything that helps people examine their mind motor-- however, I do differ from Dr. Wang in regards to his "myth busting" claim that we use "all of our brain all of the time", which is really not supported by either data, research, or plain old common sense (admittedly in short supply).
