Is there any research into how much information the brain can store?
    #21813400 - 06/16/15 03:56 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

If science eventually gave us the ability to live for 500 or 1000 years, would we even be able to remember it all? I know as we exist now, the brain filters out a lot of unimportant stuff but even with that space saving feature, how many lifetimes of "significant memories" could our brain really store?

Memory has always fascinated me. I think if my life had turned out different I'd probably of ended up being doctor studying the brain and memory.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

It would be more of a measure of how much memory can be recalled. If you can't recall it there's no way to tell if it was ever there.

I read something about this when i was 15 or so, saying if there was a limit, its incredibly high.

It inspired me to learn everything i could.

You would probably have to go under hypnosis for a total recall, but then who would really know what was real and what was just nonsense. What is real? Life is all imaginary. Fuck

The number of potential brain states as defined by the number of combinations and permutations of neurons exceeds the number of elementary particles in the universe.

An 83,000-Processor Supercomputer Can Only Match 1% of Your Brain
Quote:

Why is it so hard for computers to reproduce what your grey matter does as a matter of course? Volume. The human brain consists of about 200 billion nerve cells (neurons) that are linked together by trillions of connections called synapses. As the tiny electrical impulses shoot across each neuron, they have to travel through these synapses, each of which contains about 1000 different switches that route that electrical impulse. In total, one human brain could contain hundreds of trillions of these neural pathways. It's like a Choose Your Own Adventure book that stretches from here to Jupiter.

It's all for the :lol:s
