On what evidence is this claim based?

I thought the memory capacity of a brain is much much larger than that of
a modern computer. Humans cannot memorize 1GB of random bytes. However,
they can remember thousands of human faces, memories, feelings; even the
rudimentary behaviour of humans such as walking probably requires lots of
memory. I'm pretty sure that the memory and deductive capacities of a
brain is still far greater than that of a computer, although they don't
work in a similar manner.
