For the brain, visual information is received like a digital asset, or a data and signal-processing system, because it is highly organized and efficient at identifying and interpreting patterns. Sound information, by contrast, is received like an analog asset, because it enters as a continuous waveform made up of changing frequencies and amplitudes over time, and the brain interprets it as a continuous spectrum.

Visual information can enter the brain like a digital image that can be divided into pixels. This is because visual input is highly organized and the process of identifying and interpreting patterns is efficient.
Sound information enters as a continuous waveform, much like an analog signal. Sound consists of frequencies and amplitudes that change over time, and the brain interprets them as a continuous spectrum.
Language goes through a more complex signal-processing process. Spoken language begins as analog sound, which the brain converts into digital information in order to interpret meaning. Written language, by contrast, is recognized in a digital form from the beginning and processed through its own symbolic system.

For our brains,
visual information resembles a digital asset,
sound information resembles an analog asset,
and language operates like a process of encoding between the digital and the analog.
