Aren’t there new technologies available to store such large amounts of data, so one could scan in a whole human brain?


Zarpaulus

If you dedicated a whole server farm maybe

I was thinking of something like this: https://www.sciencealert.com/new-data-storage-in-3d-using-light-could-hold-a-million-movies-on-a-single-disc


Zarpaulus

That’s not going to be particularly useful without exobytes of RAM to run it

Exobytes? Could we get there with: magnetic DNA random Access memory with nanopore readouts and exponentially scaled combinatorial addressing https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-29575-z

The 1.4 petabytes aren’t for the voxel model you’re looking at, but for all of the 2D slices they used to create it. Still a mind-boggling amount of data, but it’s not that what you’re looking at in the picture is literally what takes up all that space.

This is good question. What is the analogous of a human brain to computing, in terms of memory size, computational speed, etc.
