How much information can the average human brain store?

I'm doing a science project on how the human brain stores information and also need to know how much information it can store. Simple language please! I'm only in the sixth grade. Something I will understand and get marks for because my teacher won't tolerate it (she'll think I copied it down from somewhere and don't even know what it means --%26gt;she'll torture me with questions on the thing jsut to prove a point) Thank you!How much information can the average human brain store?No limit..Human can store more %26amp; more information in their brain..No one can use their brain 100%..How much information can the average human brain store?
This is difficult to answer because everyone is different and information cannot be calculated by what a human brain can store.

Studies have shown that if the human brain is heavier, has more ridges in the gray matter of the brain, it will function better. That is something testable and so a science project can be done on it.



Maybe you want to look at IQ of human beings because in general a person with more IQ is supposedly able to hold more information in their brain, so maybe you can look at a bell curve of an IQ test thats been done to answer your question. You cannot answer your question in any scientific way because information is things made up to make sense of our world while a brain is a physical thing. The two cannot be cross-analyzed.How much information can the average human brain store?%26gt; How much information can the average human brain store?

None reliably.

Your brain is not a hard drive.

Sure, memories are "stored" but they are constantly pared and compacted, leading to unreliable recall.

Apparently as patterns of "strong" synapses. The Los Angeles Times did a series of articles on this some years back.How much information can the average human brain store?
I think an average human uses 20% or less of their brain ( i could be wrong ) but yea..How much information can the average human brain store?I don't think this is possible to measure...How much information can the average human brain store?
half my heads worth
