I don't think that makes any sense if spoken seriously, so I take it as a joke.

But there may be some merit to the idea that we do not fully utilize our capabilities. Limitless while using the incorrect terminology touches on a more realistic aspect of brain use. But instead of "unlocking" all of our brain, we need only train our minds to expand beyond preconceived boundaries.

Boosting our memory centers: We could potentially remember things as far back as forming in the womb. We could remember in detail every dream or nightmare. We could remember the actions we took while sleep-walking or the things that occurred when drunk or drugged.

Boosting our creative center: Well, most of us really need no boost here. Works of fiction in any field are proof enough of our ability to think beyond ourselves to new possibilities. Unfortunately, most of us lack the practical knowledge of our world to accomplish the "fantasies" we dream up. Education into the most complicated fields is required before our immense imaginative capabilities can begin to be applied.

Boosting our control centers: The ability to control our actions (conquering natural instincts such as withdrawing from pain, etc.) is useful to many athletes and those who work in fields of physical labors.

Our mental abilities cannot be expand beyond the scope of ourselves (our bodies, our private thoughts/dreams) without interference from some external (likely artificial) component. Nothing as simple as a chemical compound (i.e. a drug), but perhaps something akin to machinery (a microprocessor, or circulatory nanites). To accomplish something as menial as flight, a person would likely have to be a cyborg.
