is there a limit to how much you can learn? Is there a point where a human neural brain won’t be able to store any more new information?

Question

Obviously currently this doesn’t happen, but assuming there would be some techniques or devices for learning more – would there be a limit to how much our neural networks in the brain can store?

Answer 1

Brains are really effective at removing everything that is deemed unimportant and only remembering the “important stuff.”

We estimate 2.5 pedabytes of brain data storage based purely on electrical activity and what we know about the brain RN, but there is still a LOT of stuff we don’t really understand about the brain.

While there might be a cap, it’s hard to say because of how effective we are at compressing and reducing the data we see, hear, taste, feel, etc.
