How much data measured in bytes can your brain hold?

Wasn't that just the maximum they could insert, and not actually an upper limit on his capacity?

Not quite sure how many bytes, but I like mine with fava beans?

computer HD = digital

brain = analog

at least thats the way I think of it.

short term memory can hold 5-8 "chunks" of info at a time before it must be stored in long term or semi long. these can be single digits, words, actions, feelings, scentences, etc. the number of chunks and size of each chgunk(like if you can remember a whole scentence as one) depends on brain development. look at a psyc 101 text for more info

I do like my little robot (Marvin) but he is so depressing at times.. Big brain but not alot of compassion for us simple folks.
He has the brain the size of a planet.
He speaks very slowly. Yes he is very depressed. After all he has the brain the size of a planet. He has to deal with people, like us.
Wouldn't that make you depressed too.
