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

There really isn’t a universal definition for information, so it’s impossible to determine if there is a physical limit of information a brain can store. Is “information” even a physical?

If information is physical then it may be limited by the number of neurons in the brain that handles storage of information. If you say information has equivalent mass then maybe the theoretical limit is defined by the mass of a brain. But the brain is a bit more complicated than that, there are electrical signals and different chemicals in your brain and we don’t have a 100% understanding of how the brain functions.

I think the simple answer is that, we don’t know because there isn’t a clear definition of what information is.
