The average human life expectancy is about 70 years at the moment, does anybody know how much information will be recorded through the senses during this time?
For a rough idea, we can consider that audio alone takes up about 5MB per channel per minute at 44.1kHz, 16-bit uncompressed .wav audio, and we hear in stereo so that is 10MB per minute. That will be roughly 5.256 Terabyte a year, giving us 368 Terabyte of sound in 70 years, but of course our hearing is much more sensitive than that, so the total data will be much bigger.
Now we need to add smell, taste, somatosensory, sight and brainwave activity to the calculation.
Is it possible to calculate? Any rough ideas? Or research related to this?
The "raw" data are well over 1 Exabyte, IMO. Not so hard to roughly estimate since the nerve endings for various senses have been estimated quite well (vision is the major block) and the average sampling rates are all similar to the acoustic range. However, absolute majority of this massive data flow is pre-processed and discarded well before it reaches the brain. Where further sweeping reductions occur. So the key word in this game is "recorded", not "sampled". The reduction factor is no doubt at least 6 orders of magnitude.
As per my cal calculation 144 qubits /sec. thus per year 144x60x60x24x365=4.54x10^9 qubits per year.
I have mentioned the result that processing speed of brain is 144qubits per second in the following paper(I have not provided the proof in it)

In my next paper I am providing the proof for it.(will be published in few days)
