Brain inspired Hyperdimensional computing for extremely robust brain-computer interfaces, biosignal processing and robotics

From an engineering perspective, computing is the systematized and mechanized manipulation of patterns.  A representation is a pattern in some physical medium, for example, the configuration of ONs and OFFs on a set of switches. The algorithm then tells us how to change these patterns—how to set the switches from one moment to the next based on their previous settings. Computing is the transformation of representations by algorithms that can be described by rules.
