Another interesting idea I picked up yesterday.
The neurons don't store memory, rather connect with other neurons to recreate the memory. The amount of different connections possible between the neurons in your brain is supposedly greater than the number of atoms in the universe.
I believe with full confidence that to be untrue. We probably have trillions or "million billions" of connections, but you probably want to read some Stephen Hawking before making a statement like that one. lol
Still, the brain is tremendously powerful, and is indeed capable of incredible things in terms of information processing. There are "side effects" of PhotoReading that I have written about in the past. For instance, many beginning PhotoReaders experience a sort of "high" after PhotoReading several books (or even one) for the first time. This is either a sensory illusion, or could be indication that some wicked neurological activity is taking place.
All information transmitted in our brains is done through electrochemical signals. Can you place much of a limit on the power of electricity? I cannot imagine one. Chemicals might have limits in speed, but the capability of neuronal networks to create reasoning is tremendous when our brains have so many connections to work with.
