The human brain may be able to hold as much information in its memory as is contained on the entire Internet, new research suggests.
Researchers discovered that a brain cell uses 26 different ways to code its “bits.” instead of 0s and 1s They calculated that the brain could store 1 petabyte (or a quadrillion bytes) of information.
It was discovered that the human brain can store this huge amount of information while using just enough power to run a dim light bulb.
