Since 0g is a novel experience.

people take information in the form of physical energy from the environment (stimuli), and this physical energy is transformed into chemical energy and the into electrical energy in the course of transmission from the sense organs to the brain. Stored information can later be retrieved, used to solve a problem, and then expressed as output (responses).

physical energy (stimuli, from environment) -> chemical energy (sense organs to the brain) -> electrical energy -> output (response)
