Is the information capacity of the human brain unlimited?

It's impossible to be infinite, and as long as there's a physical basis, it's hard to say infinite. So, the answer to you must be limited. But how about the limited law, let me tell you what I think.

The information stored in the brain is difficult to measure in terms of how many m and how many g we generally think of now. Our current concept of information stock comes from a binary basis, which gives rise to bits, kb, mbs, etcBut from the perspective of the structure of the brain, it is not stored in this way.

In other words, the basis of brain storage is different from the concept that we can measure. So it's not very meaningful to discuss this, it's not verifiable, it's not falsifiable.

And then, tell me about my thoughts on the way the brain is stored. People have about 10 billion brain cells, and they die every day, so if you want to keep the information storage stable, you can't use a brain cell as an information storage unit, but a group, and I don't know how big this group is. If you have friends of an order of magnitude that you can add, let's assume 10,000.

In this way, the relative stability of memory in an ever-changing organism can be guaranteed. Under this assumption, the brain has about 1 million storage units, and these units can represent a single note, a pitch. Or a color, or a shape.

Then these 1 million units interact with each other --- are connected; And that connection means something.

And that kind of meaning can be described as seeing someone, that person has a corresponding clump of cells, and then you think of something about them through that clump of cells, and the process is obviously meaningful, it's intelligent, and you can think of that as another brain store"information"If we take such meaningful connections as a kind of information storage connection, we can roughly calculate how many such storage connections there are.

In terms of one-way connections, which is the number of other cells that a cell mass can connect to, if you give a rough average of three. Then the brain has a million specific cell clusters"Storage unit"Plus 3 million more connections"Storage connections".

Do you memorize some useless information?

1. There is no upper limit to the storage of the human brain. The human brain is extremely complex, every second, the human brain is undergoing 100,000 different chemical reactions, and the number of cells in the brain is more than twice that of the world's population. The most amazing memory in the world is a memory master from Japan, who can remember 42,905 digits after the decimal point of pi, and he told everyone that memory can be improved to improve the auspicious silver liter, which means that there is no upper limit to human memory, but we have not developed the brain to the maximum.

2. Nowadays, science and technology are becoming more and more developed, many people think that computers will replace the human brain in the future, and scientists feel that this banquet is not realistic, because the human brain is much more complex than the computer, and the computer is still developed by the human brain, and scientists want to solve the brain is a world problem, in other words, it is difficult to solve the mystery of the brain with the thinking of the human brain. Therefore, the brain is far more complex than the computer, and even if the storage capacity of today's computer is large, it cannot compare to the storage capacity of the human brain.

3. Scientists have found that the storage capacity of the brain can be developed, but people cannot develop 100% of the brain in their lifetime, and only less than 10/10 of it is developed. Even Albert Einstein, who invented the atomic bomb, only developed 13% of his brain, and it would be quite terrifying if the human brain was fully developed, and I don't know what humans would develop.

You should be able to feel that the storage capacity of the human brain is infinite, for example: if you remember the word willow leaf, you can remember the wind, willow tree or all the words related to willow leaves, and the brain storage can be infinitely compressed, if you use a memory cell to remember a word, or willow leaves, when you remember the word willow again, because these two words are similar, the brain will automatically enable this memory cell again, and this memory cell will compress the original word willow leaf infinitely, compressed to very small, very small, And memorize the word willow and compress it infinitely to make room for other similar words to be memorized.

In this way, one memory cell of the human body has an unlimited storage capacity, not to mention that the human brain has so many memory cells.

Just like in your daily life, if you feel that there are many things that you can't do every day, then it proves that these things fill all the cells of your brain, and you can use the infinity theorem to compress these things, and compress all things to infinitesimal size, then you will feel very relaxed, which is the infinite theorem of the brain.

Don't believe in science, the current science is imperfect, believe in yourself, this theorem will work for you.

125m has been studied by scientists, and the information you can remember is 125m when you learn the whole thing. But there is no limit to the brain's ability to create. In different situations, the brain can create more new memories. But some memories of the past that are not very important will be replaced.

Are you asking about memory capacity, or is it simply volumetric capacity?

It is said to hold 200 books from the National Library of the United States.
