* * Principles of Information Science Chapter 6 Principles of Information Processing: Computation 6-1 Basics in Information Processing Discussion: What Is Information Processing? Information Processing is referred to Random Signal Processing while non-random signal processing is named Signal Processing. Information Processing should be performed via carrier processing. Therefore, Information Processing is the same as Signal Processing. Information processing is the operation with respect to information while regardless of its carrier (signal). Information cannot exist without carriers. Thus information processing must be performed via carrier processing/manipulation. Definition of Information Processing Any operations exerted to the information itself for its better utilization, yet not for producing knowledge, are termed as Information Processing. Information processing is necessary because most kinds of information in its original form may not be easy for use. Thus information processing is the basis of later operations. Information Processing Information Conversion-1 Original Information Easy-to-use Information Knowledge Theorem of Syntactic Information Processing It is never possible to increase the amount of syntactic information through any ways of (syntactic) information processing. The only purpose for information processing is to make the information in original form being easier and better to be used. In other words, information processing has to improve the convenience for information use, instead of information amount increasing. 6-2 Human Information Processing The Cognitive History of Information Processing The information processing theory of human brain consists of several basic stages. Information received from external or internal stimuli is inputted through the sensors and transformed by a variety of mental operations (including representation by bio-signals). It receives atte
