We often hear people talking about memory cards, laptops, computer hard disks and USB flash drives.
We talk about memory capacity all the time. 1 GB, 2 GB, 128 GB or more memory card or pen drive is available in the market. Some hard disks and pen drives can hold up to 1000 to 2000 GB of memory.
But have we ever wondered how many GB of memory God has given to our brains?
Even today, scientists have not been able to determine the capacity of the human brain. However, scientists say that even if you keep 3 million hours or 342 years of continuous video on the brain's memory card, the memory space of the supercomputer named your brain will not be filled.
Northwestern University Professor of Psychology Dr. research data on the memory space of the brain. Paul Reber noted that the human brain has 100 million or one billion neurons. Each neuron has made 1,000 connections to each other, with a mathematical number of more than one trillion.
Scientists say that even if each neuron contains one memory, memory space will never run out in anyone's lifetime. Rather, a single neuron is capable of holding countless memories.
Professor Paul Reber noted that if the brain holds memory like a state-of-the-art digital video recorder, it would take more than three hundred years to propagate that memory if it were to be broadcast endlessly on a TV.
Scientists say that the memory capacity of the brain is at least 2.5 petabytes or 1 million GB or 1 million gigabytes.
