A Chessboard Model of Human Brain and One Application on Memory Capacity

TL;DR

This paper proposes a chessboard-inspired model of the human brain to explore its memory capacity, challenging the 10% usage myth and offering insights into neural function and potential limits of memory.

Contribution

It introduces a novel chessboard-based model of the brain grounded in neuroscience, providing a theoretical framework for understanding memory capacity and brain utilization.

Findings

Challenging the 10% brain usage myth

Proposing a chessboard model based on neural characteristics

Offering a theoretical explanation for memory limits

Abstract

The famous claim that we only use about 10% of the brain capacity has recently been challenged. Researchers argue that we are likely to use the whole brain, against the 10% claim. Some evidence and results from relevant studies and experiments related to memory in the field of neuroscience leads to the conclusion that if the rest 90% of the brain is not used, then many neural pathways would degenerate. What is memory? How does the brain function? What would be the limit of memory capacity? This article provides a model established upon the physiological and neurological characteristics of the human brain, which could give some theoretical support and scientific explanation to explain some phenomena. It may not only have theoretically significance in neuroscience, but could also be practically useful to fill in the gap between the natural and machine intelligence.
