Information
Strictly, the reduction in uncertainly provided by a stimulus, usually quantified in bits, the number of binary decisions needed to specify the stimulus. One bit specifies 2 alternatives, two bits 4, three bits 8, and so on in increasing powers of 2. The term is often used in a colloquial rather than a technical sense (as in common applications of the phrase information processing).
