Scaling Laws of Memory Retrieval

The “free recall” paradigm probes the ability of human subjects to retrieve words or images from a list selected by the experimenter. Strikingly, the number of items that can be retrieved by the subjects is extremely limited, scaling on ...

The total number of neurons in the brain is 1011, so this suggests that the whole neural network in the brain be used (in multiple times). ...
