The article discusses some issues related to the information capabilities of the human brain. Based on the fact that the measure of unit information is bit, the volume of information that can be stored in the brain and its capacity for keeping and reproducing text and audio information are evaluated and calculated. An analysis of the computer potentials to model the process of recognizing images that take place in the human brain has been performed. A hypothesis that real-time modelling of these processes is difficult to realize with the current parameters of the computers is presented.
Key words: human brain, image processing, transfer of information, information processing, measurement of quantity of information, information capabilities of the human brain
