The sentence actually doesn't make sense mathematically: 1^8 - one to the power eight -is just one. Giving a bit of leeway for a typo gives us a bit of confusion with the notation - it should be "10 to the power of something". But 10^8 is still way too low. That just 100,000,000. I'm thinking 10^18 is still too low. Thinking the brain's capacity is 10^15 is understandable, but probably too low.
