How much electricity does the brain produce?

      The brain requires a relavively low power to operate - around 20 watts, which would be enough to power a weak light bulb. 20watts corresponds to 20 joules of energy per second. The generation of electricity in the brain results from the movement of ions(charged atoms)through the brain, as opposed to electrons moving through a wire.
