Bekenstein bound: One megabyte per hydrogen atom.
Even if you can only store one byte per hundred atoms, this still gives
you around one million billion megabytes per gram. I wouldn't expect
that the human brain holds more than a thousand billion megabytes of
data, and a mere billion megabytes is more likely.
There's plenty of room at the bottom.
