Storage

The information collected from the sensory organs is stored consciously and subconsciously. The brain is very efficient at filtering out the information that is non-critical for survival. Although there is no confirmed value of the storage capacity in the human brain, it is believed that the storage capacity is similar to terabytes in computers. The brain's information retrieval mechanism is also highly sophisticated and efficient. The brain can retrieve relevant and related information based on context. It is understood that the brain stores information in the form of linked lists, where the objects are linked to each other by a relationship, which is one of the reasons for the availability of data as information and knowledge, to be used as and when required.
