If you want to test your brain, the BBC has a bunch of interesting tests and surveys on its Science site at http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/index.shtml

I would love for someone to test my brain. I can remember a lot of things, well nearly everything. I can remember my mum putting me in my pram as a baby, and I can remember having photos taken at 3 months old…. I do believe the human brain is an amazing thing.

Isn’t this the same sort of thing as the evolved memory storage facility demonstrated by Aboriginals? Who were classed as sub-human by Caucasian invaders. Until experimentation using “the Great Game” items on a tray test. Which showed minds that had evolved, possibly assisted by narrative reinforcement. To enable those indigenous peoples to navigate their environment, through use of association.

They should conduct a study to find out how much information our brains can store unconsciously. For example subjecting someone to a particular situation (covertly of course) with vital information in, then several days later put them into another situation that requires them to use this information and see how much they picked up unconsciously… Does that sound too familiar??

Apparently the average number of thoughts that humans are believed to experience each day is 70,000 so lets say you live up to the age of 60, so there is about 365.25 days according to the internet. In one year you may endure about 25567500 per a year. So i think over 60 years the number of thought you could experience is 1534050000. This is only a very simple guess.
