What exactly do we mean by “information processing”? I know the brain isn’t a computer, but when we say, for example, that the brain process information, or that a computer process information, do we mean the same thing?
In: Physics
In computer terminology there is a difference between data and information, data is a collection of facts and information is processed data when you make something meaningful out of it.
In this case you would mean data ie raw facts coming in and processed by brain. The two terms are often used interchangeably but they are not same.
