  • Great question! According to http://www.sizes.com/people/brain.htm , "Robert Birge (Syracuse University) who studies the storage of data in proteins, estimated in 1996 that the memory capacity of the brain was between one and ten terabytes, with a most likely value of 3 terabytes. Such estimates are generally based on counting neurons and assuming each neuron holds 1 bit." If you click on the link beware of the brain pic: you might find it to be a little graphic. ;)
