How much do you think the size of a brain is in terms of bytes....

A friend of mine told me it would may perhaps be a few TB's.....

What's your opinion on this guyz?

I've heard the human brain was about 70 TB, but I believe it to be closer to a YottaByte, as brain capacity varies among the population due to random mutations within the species, and other determining factors, and people can forget things.
One Quadrillion GB....Whew!

Really dude?
Well, we have no objective tool for measuring it since things are stored in the brain differently from how they are stored in a computer.

You can hardly compare an object designed by humans to an object that has evolved naturally.
hmmm, nice thought...!

But if you ask me, our brain has atleast a 1000 year advanced technology of storing information than our present hard-disks,....

So comparing or not,....the Yottabyte thought by you seems to be a reasonable (if not less) one
:-)
I think that's thousands on thousands of years ahead of us.
If are brain only stored text (memories)
lol
not evn a gig will do that.
Well, technically, evolution has a 3.5 billion year lead...

But science is catching up pretty fast.
@ Gibson Actually, if we think out of the box, one thing is sure, we are not using a byte of our brain...! ;-) Dont you think?

@ JS Hmmm, do you think its fast enough?
Well, it depends on what you mean by "fast enough."

One day we will have machines with superhuman mind abilities, that we could intellectually confuse for humans - no doubt.

But we do not have a timeframe for this.
Well said JS...!

But since you asked,....Im starting a new discussion based on your statement! Do visit it...! :-)

I cant tell, far from artificial intelligence, but still cool. But anyways, I am pretty sure that science will allow me to live for billions of years, considering in the last hundred years life expectancy doubled, and we advanced more then all the other decades put together in the last decade, it would make the most sense.
If things keep following Moore's law we'll have Yottabite storage devices in around 60 years, if I did my math right.
do you think that science would still be in such a pace?

I'd definitely cut out a few decades from that 60 years....10 to 15 years would be more appropriate,...dont you think buddy? :-)
