The human memory is a true miracle
How the brain works
- How the brain works
- How the brain learns something new
- The brain in numbers
The approximately 1,500 grams have it all: around 86 billion nerve cells enable us to think, feel, taste, smell and much more.
- Mass of the average male brain: 1,375g
- Mass of the average female brain: 1,245g
- Mass of Albert Einstein brain: 1,230g
Our brain is a supercomputer with an unimaginable storage capacity:
On the one hand, the number of all elementary particles (subatomic particles) in the universe is: 1079,
on the other hand, the number of information units (IU) that the human brain can store amounts to 10150.
The human memory is a true miracle
Recent research of:
*Department of Psychological Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia(Missouri)
*Department of Psychology, Washington University, St. Louis (Missouri)
*Indiana University, Bloomington, (Indiana)
have shown that the human capacity in working memory (WM) converges to about 3.35 items.
To summarise, it can be said that this capacity is the norm (3.35 IU).
