Here, we would enter an ontological discussion. What does it mean to know? So to be able to answer this, first we would need to solve the nature of consciousness. Maybe there are experiments on the brain showing where we store memories, but I don't think we have a good explanation on how, and more importantly what the nature of subjective experience really is.
This could mean the best way to explore that question is subjectively, as Buddhists (and other religions, although to a lesser extent I think) have done for thousands of years, so hypothesis and falsifiability goes out the window, because those are also subjective concepts. That's a tough question.
