I believe there's no way we can measure or limit our brain's memory capacity into 'bytes'. Most researches state that we only use up 5-10% of our brain capacity in our lifetime. I think it does differ from person to person depending on their brain activity, or how often their brain is used. Active people, those who use their brain much tend to store memory better than those who are inactive, lazy and lie around all day. =p

Our brain is just one terrific creation. It's so complex!!!

It is difficult to compare the brain to a hard disk because the hard disk stores data digitally, and is designed for infinite retention and complete recall. Your brain does not do any of these things. The number of things that the average person can recall perfectly over a long period of time is net very large. But the human brain is very good at correlating information and remembering important details about things while filtering out the irrelevant information. This allows it to store a large amount of certain types of information like the route to the supermarket without having to remember the location of every blade of grass along the way there.

There are many different estimates, ranging from 1 Terrabyte to 10 Exa byte. The definition of storage capacity makes it hard to agree on estimates. Most scientists situate the capacity between 1 and 1000 Tb.
It is not sure wether it differs from person to person, excluding accidents and illnesses.
Record capacity? No, maybe you can record memories, but certainly not capacity.

Phil750, a terabyte is a million,000gb additionally, i do no longer think of it extremely is achievable to count selection this. once you think approximately that each and all of the words interior the english language must be saved on a tiny fraction of a cd-rom that's 700mb, and the ideas has no actual technique to shop and reproduce photographs, it would lead me to have self belief that the human ideas can not shop a hell of lots. the version is, intelligence. An organic and organic ideas can understand a face lots extra effeciently than a working laptop or laptop ought to. i do no longer think of those are comparable quite.

storing capacity of any simple human being is not even estimated. it is belived to tranfer, a mature humans brain data, into a cd will take years as on today's computer transfer rate. So utilise the god given brain capacity for enriching your knowledge on any thing other than human brain capacity unless you want to do a phd on human brain capacity

Really the storing capacity of an average or any human being is unlimited (can't be defined)

mate the human brain isnt a computer where you can just put in a cd and recover info. it is much much much more complex, and one of the biggest mysteries on earth is the working of the human brain.
