Interesting perspective that denies the whole field of cognitive psychology (despite the author being a renowned psychologist himself, albeit in the field of behavioral psychology). But I wonder, if information is going in and information going out, what is it in between if not information processing, aka computing?

Information is nonsense. In our models perfect information and perfect noise are indistinguishable. Usually this is just hand-waved away, but we all know where you go when you start with an incoherent definition–anywhere your imagination can carry you.

One of the major philosophical errors technically educated but philosophically ignorant intelligent persons make is not being aware of the role of the interpretant. Computing "neural networks" have biological neural networks as a necessary precondition. CS Peirce's understanding of semiotic really should be required reading.

Charitably I'd call the tendency to say we are computers (that is to say, we've built machines in our own image) the pathetic fallacy. Less charitably I'd call it idolatry. The dream of building gods is ancient and persistent.

To answer your question, what's going on in the human mind remains a mystery to all honest inquirers.
