What is the memory capacity of the human brain?
I was pondering this today, if the brains memory capacity could be measured in bits, how many would it be? I know a computer is in gigabytes, so I’m guessing terabytes. I don’t even know if it’s possible to measure it…
Its not possible to measure. Or at least with our tools today.
You can measure someones memory compared to someone who has really good memory, but a third person opinion is not available with our technology.
The brain holds many secrets and passageways that we as people have yet to understand, or even discover for that matter.
Memory is something extraordinary. Its like consciousness. We cannot pin point exactly where consciousness is held in the brain. We know its in the frontal cortex, and that memory is in the occipital lobe, but we cannot pin point the exact location, and therefore, cannot properly measure it.

The Melody At Night, With You $10.94 This solo recording is a fitting coda for Keith Jarrett’s more restrained, less prolific output in the 1990s. The fitful vamps and long, ruminative improvisations that made Jarrett a solo piano star in the ’70s are here either stillborn or tightly tethered to classic melodies from the likes of Gershwin and Ellington, yet there is not the slightest hint of repression. Instead, Jarrett sprinkles not… |
