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?

[Bekenstein bound](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekenstein_bound) limit from a physics perspective:

Scroll to just before the footnotes at the end…
This means that the number O=2^{I} of states (bits) of the human brain must be **less than** ≈10^(7.8*10^41).

Note: This is 10 raised to the 7.8*10^41 power, where for comparison a terabyte is 8*10^(12), and a googol is 10^(100). Or in long form, 10^(780,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) bits.
