Brains are, after all, pretty successful information processors, so reproducing them in silicon could be a good idea.

毕竟， 大脑是相当成功的信息处理器，因此在硅片上复制它们可能是一个好主意。

So, the idea behind a lot of psychology – particularly a lot of neuroscience and cognitive psychology – is to treat the mind as an information processor, as an elaborate computer.

所以，很多心理学——尤其是很多神经科学和认知心理学——背后的想法是把大脑当作一个信息处理器，一个精密的计算机。
