Where do DATA hold? In our brain? or in our soul?

[riwjin]

Where is the storage? In physical brain? or in one's soul, and the brain is merely an interface?


First, Just how much information one's brain can hold?
If one say "unlimited", then that's non-physical, "astronomical" still acceptable.

If physical storage, then what are the factors contributing to good or bad memory/learning?
Neuroplasticity? Connectivity? Modularity? Size?


If soul storage, as information has no physical body and loss of information is due to interface damage,

and physical human body have to exist because of the need to acquire more information,

which demands physical contact/manipulation, then why do we have to acquire those info in the first place?



One search for it so he can understand his own life, rest in peace both in body and mind, and go to nirvana?

I think only one's own will will find the truth, and nobody else.

I would say storage is in the brain. The amount we can store is probably limited and to remember something we will forget others of less importance. The size of different parts of the brain effects how well we do at different things.

i'd say we hold our memory in the brain, well that's scientific statement...

but some people who believe in reincarnation would say that brain is just merely a bank to put our memory... when we died we take all our memory with our soul.

The structural specificity of the neural architecture ads tremendously to the total information capacity of the brain. So we may actually be able to store more than an exabyte of information.

Brain = harddrive & motherboard
Body = mouse & keyboard

So yea, brain holds the data. You can't magically retrieve memories without the brain just because they have no physical form, just like data from a fried harddrive can't be retrieved. Reason sometimes we "remember" a memory is because they are not actually deleted, just cached.
