Information is a particular ordering of states. Information in the brain is composed of particular patterns, which in turn the main EEG is just an integral over time of all patterns. Hence there is nothing new here. So what? You want to argue that information is truly unique? It isn't. A physical process interred it and now keeps it shuffling around like a slowly decaying zombie. Don't feed it, you lose it eventually. And that is our bad analogy for the brain. Zombies are most appropriate.
