Forsdyke, D.R. (2009). Samuel Butler and human long term memory: is the
cupboard bare? Journal of Theoretical Biology 258(1), 156-164. (see
http://post.queensu.ca/~forsdyke/mind01.htm)
the author considers a possibility that the long term memory is outside
the brain. I guess that Bruno should like it.
"The suggestion of the medieval physician Avicenna that the brain
‘cupboard’ is bare, – i.e. the brain is a perceptual, not storage, organ
– is consistent with a mysterious ‘universe as holograph’ model."
"Charles Darwin spent much time setting out various combinations of 26
units in linear order on paper. Yet, that each cell of an organism might
contain similar digital information, now known as DNA, was beyond his
conceptual horizon. Likewise, many today compute using remote
information storage yet are unlikely to countenance the possibility that
their own brains might functioning similarly."
Best wishes,
