But, and very briefly, in signal-to-noise theory when applied to the human nervous systems:
(1) Signals first come in
 
(2) The signals are then, in pre-conscious processing, translated into information-meaning categories, usually by some kind of comparing with meanings already stored in memory banks
 
(3) If memory-meanings comparable to the signals are found, then mental images can be manufactured and rise into consciousness
* Signals first come in
(4) However, if no comparable or comparative memory-meanings are available, then the pre-conscious systems segue over to the next best memory-meanings – and mental perceptions and images are then constructed in the light of those
The signals are then, in pre-conscious processing, translated into information-meaning categories, usually by some kind of comparing with meanings already stored in memory banks
(5) When this happens, the resulting mental-image impressions can be at some distance from the real import of the original signals, but can carry bits of information contained in the original signals
