The brain can store 1 petabyte of memories, or 13 years of HD video (2016)
- ramraj07 5y agoSo can a kilogram of sand if processed correctly.. just because an individual neuron can store 4 bytes doesn’t mean that it does indeed store it and does so meaningfully. Another sensationalized title tbh. We also don’t know how efficiently our brain compresses the “video” of our memories. My guess would be each individual memory doesn’t even take a few kilobytes, not like we remember picture perfect pixel level details or anything.
