If the human brain memory could be measured in computer storage units, how much storage capacity would it have?
Bout 10 gigs.
The things I remember don't seem to be in 4K60fps but more like old 90s vhs tapes.
>>53831323
you can remember pictures? lucky. everything is just words and sounds to me.
It's pretty much unlimited. The problem is that most people haven't been trained to memorize big lists and other data on demand.
pretty sure 1strand of dna holds like 1tb
>>53831270
According to latest studies in field and estimation would be about one petabyte, or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.
honestly? not much. each synapse would probably be a couple line text file. plus things would get deleted all the time that you don't use on a regular basis.
>>53831372
what the hell does this even mean? how did they figure that out?
>>53831356
>unlimited
Everyone laugh at this one.
>>53831356
its unlimited but memory fades overtime. unused connections get lost, like a fragmented hdd.
nothing can stop that process, until we become cyborgs
>>53831323

>>53831412
i imagine that dna is a bit like a string of binary data with just the difference that you have four possibilities instead of 2
>>53831323
it's due to how memories work
when you think back on something, you think back on the last time you brought up that experience, so over time those memories become "corrupted," not accurate to what actually happened
>>53831412
Well a 2015 experiment proved that a gram of DNA was able to store minimum 455 000 000 terabytes, and a Harvard study from 2012 said a single string of DNA is capable of storing 700 terabytes
>>53831467
how did they figure this out?
>>53831467
Well fuck me silly.
Where are my DNA HDDs?

This usually happens to degenerate people, usually Americans that dope themselves with the most toxic shit on the planet and 10 types of pills from their psychiatrist.
Most healthy people from around the world have a success rate of describing events they remember at least with 80% correct details, going wrong about clothes, colors and minor details.
>>53831504
In your cells, they can store bout you can't read from them, not yet - we need some nano machines to read stuff around it and transfer it into digital bits.. pretty hardcore.

That's not completely how memories work. Human memory works very different from how video for example is stored. Memories of events are basically stored as a handful of key things the brain knew happened and from that knowledge when you are tasked with remembering the event your brain has to take what it the few things it can remember and basically make up anything else based on what probably happened.
For example if you have a memory of doing something at school years ago on a day where your friend wasn't there that day, you might remember him being there for the event because your brain will say "ok this guy is there most of the time, so he probably there, therefore he was" even though his wasn't. This is why human memories are pretty crappy as evidence in court among other things, the small details simply aren't there and it's easy for people to get details completely wrong yet as far as they are concerned they were right.
I cannot remember what I was doing 3 weeks ago but can remember shit from 10 years ago perfectly.
Everyone's mind is different, you autists.
and I don't mean in a special snowflake way, butno doubt the way someone else's mind works would be an enigma if you were to hear them.
Probably in the TB range, though most information would be stored as really shitty JPGs and corrupted AVIs

>If the human brain memory could be measured in computer storage units, how much storage capacity would it have?
It can't be.
Goodbye, never ask that question again.
The real question is, when will it finally be possible to augment people with USB slots to add information storage that feeds directly into our brains?
About tree fiddy.
>>53831653
The REAL question is, when will impressionable CS students cease to assume that the brain can somehow be 1:1 compared to digital computers?
>>53831575
Pretty much this. Our memory is content-access, so you have links from every item to related items. And it's also messy because it's biological and lossy and we have no error checking codes.
Also, I recall that it's 10 terabytes, not 10 gigabytes. Not that it's all that accurate anyway.
stupid question thread is that way >>53829683

I can't believe we're 1/3 way through this year already. what the literal fuck?
all I remember is bowie dying and that's about it. was I abducted by aliens? did I lose time?

>neurons combine so that each one helps with many memories at a time, exponentially increasing the brain’s memory storage capacity to something closer to around 2.5 petabytes
>>53831743
This.
For me though, I think it has to do with my every day being the same, that is, sitting in front of the computer in my basement. I can't even remember what I ate for lunch today.
heard once it would be around 4tb, but not sure about that

Actually even if you can't access it, the brain retains every piece of data it records.
>>53832065
>the brain retains every piece of data it records.
That can't be true.
>>53832089
That's because you still are comparing the brain to a digital computer. It is NOT a digital computer and can't be reasonably compared to one. It's stupid to answer OPs question with anything but "No, it can't be done".
The brain is a physical system, completely analog. Every neuron and every molecule that makes up the neurons carries information. It is impossible to say which part of that information is irrelevant or not. You can do this with a computer because we actually designed it, so we know what's relevant and what's not. We didn't design the brain. Every honest neuroscientist will tell you that we honestly have no fucking clue how exactly it works. How much information is needed to sufficiently describe the state of a neuron? WE DON'T KNOW. We don't know whether it's 2 bytes, 10 kB or 3 GB. When we do this, we are basically converting the analog brain to a digital image, so an exact image is impossible. That's why can basically say that the capacity of the brain is practically infinite.
Let's talk about accurate storage as well. The longest memorization I've heard of is the memorisation of the Quran which is about a megabyte which puts a lower limit on human brain capacity. Although I suppose they use mnemonics which are a bit like compression so I'm lost again.

They downloaded as much porn and anime as they could find, put it on a massive RAID array, then stuck the cable to the RAID controller up someone's butt and transferred over as much as they could fit
>>53832304
This.
This thread is retarded like the faggots saying that the human eyes see max 60fps
>>53832089
Of course it's true. When you're like "What was his name again...?" and then someone reminds you, you obviously knew his name and didn't "forget". It's just a matter of recalling and pulling the information out. However the more time that passes since you use a piece of information, the more deeply it is stored in your brain.

Like those people who don't understand why people enjoy music.
They exist.
>>53831270
Hypnotic regression allows you to access any and all memories in your head with every detail and relive them as if you were there.
I don't see how you'd be able to measure this. Your memory isn't a book of a set amount of characters.
I heard it was estimated to be about 3.4 petabytes.
(1 Petabyte = 1000 Terrabytes)
>tfw 500GB HDD brain made by deceiving chinks
I don't know, I often get surprised by just how much I can remember from decades prior.
In your case OP, about 6mb

Where the fuck did Monday go?
Forget memory. The really impressuve thing is the visual capacity. analysis of visual input in ridicolous resolution and framerate in stereo, agregating it with relevant information and serving it to the concious in real time. That is impressive.
>>53834467
I enjoy music but I don't understand people who's whole personality revolves around the type of music they enjoy.
It's just pleasant background noise to me, does that make me autistic?
>>53831270
The capacity would be insane, but it would take forever for older files to load.
The Human OS was installed in my brain since birth, and I had to write the fucking patches myself to get the fucking thing working. Software support is fucking terrible; everyone just tells me to google it.
Worse yet, the system files take up more than 90% of storage space in the brain, and I've only got about five or ten gigs of free space to store memories.
When is this shitty OS going to be updated and optimized? It shouldn't take 75 petabytes to make my body take a shit.
>>53838004
>he didnt fall for the SSD meme
>>53835804
I just plain don't listen to music, I haven't heard any music that makes me feel different so I just don't "listen to music" at all. People fucking act like im less of a person because of it. Actually pisses me the fuck off.
Your brain stores approximately 50 terabytes of data throughout the average human lifetime. By data I mean anything going in to your short or long term memory.
>>53838187
Thats only at the concious level
Theres another 100 terabytes of unprocessed subconcious data if not more, depends if your using a raid or a nas
The most digits of pi memorized is 70,000.
What size of a text file is that many characters? Maybe 100k, if that. Human memory is a joke and I can't wait to install a real cpu into my brain to make up for the joke of evolution.
>>53831270
about a million zetabytes but we can only unlock 1 gb
>>53831270
It would be over 9,000.
>>53835804
Think you're just honest.
>>53838311
or a cucklord
>>53831494
Probably encoded a all amount of data into DNA and did some math.
Yes, we are capable of synthesizing DNA with ASCii characters encoding into the DNA, or something like that
But memories are not stores in DNA...

If I'm not mistaken, you pulled that number out of nowhere. The actual estimated equivalent based on the number of synapses in the human brain is in the terabyte or even petabyte range - and that's just assuming that a synapse can only represent the most basic possible unit of data (on/off), when it could very well be much more complex.
The metaphor breaks down pretty heavily in a lot of ways, though. Brains and computers "think" very differently, and each one is far better suited for certain tasks than the other.
