Mind-Machine interfacing is fairly common across the width and breadth of sci-fi, from Science-fantasy to Hard Science-Fiction. The idea of connecting a human mind to a computer system especially the ability to record human thought and experience got me thinking.
How much information is contained inside a single human thought or memory?
And.
How many bytes are needed to record even the simplest of ideas and concepts?
Related to the question above is another "do thoughts/ideas have a quantifiable size and if so what is their unit of measure called?".
