maybe one transistor will talk to two or three others.

But in your brain, one nerve will talk to or be talked to by 10,000 other nerves.

And then also you've got the rates at which it fires and also it's continually rewiring itself.

So the capacity could be of the order of maybe 12 to 100 terabytes but then the other part of it is trying to retrieve it.

I discovered right when I was studying medicine that as new stuff came into my brain, old stuff would get pushed out the other ear.

Did you have that during your studies there, Dr. Sam?

I think you've got to refresh it all the time.

And if I refresh stuff every six months, I can keep it there.
