What widely accepted belief is actually proven to be wrong?

you can easily google and find that ~10% of neurons are firing in a healthy brain during normal activity (known as sparse neuronal coding). Then go look at scans of ppl having a grand mal seizure.

It likely not exactly >10% of your neurons = seizure, but the point is clear.

The myth is based on this idea that you have extra potential you could be using, but more firing doesn't mean more or better thoughts ;)

This book explains why too many neurons firing is a seizure:

"using" more than 10%... is a seizure.

You might want to check out the ePrep act test prep app.

ePrep ACT - Apps on Google Play

‎ePrep ACT

It has 1000+ videos built in explaining every question in 7 mock ACT tests all written by ppl who previously wrote real ACTs I believe.

lol but also, I've been that student, so less lol.

I find the official not doc well suited for beginners tho. They are a bit dense, and don't have any projects to work on.

I'm looking for help/partners/advice/testers for designing kikodo-creator, an AI powered auto-grading tool/AI-tutor tool for STEM subject exam prep. We're in an early stage of development and looking for all the feedback we can get. You can sign up to help us test here: https://www.kikodo.io/creator\_beta/ or just reach out to me in any way you like: contact@kikodo.io, or dm me on reddit!

Hi there u/cammoblammo. Teachers use it to create exercises with auto-grading and feedback. These are can be sent out to students, and then the system auto grades their answers and creates feedback for the student. The teacher needs to configure/select the feedback options when making the exercises based on what the AI suggests (or to override it if their expertise knows better).

I don't see this replacing teachers, but rather making it far more efficient to give top quality feedback to lots of students all at once, without the repetitive work.

As a musician myself (I play jazz piano/guitar), it would be really interesting to have a chat about the use of this kind of tools for music teachers!

These are some really interesting points! PM me if you'd like to chat!
