They process information differently. You can tell immediately whether you are looking at a male or female brain with an MRI. There are male and female brains.

They process information differently, on average.

By looking at a single MRI picture you cannot see whether you are looking at the brain of a male or a female. You can compare the single MRI picture to the averages of the brains of men and women and then calculate a likelihood whether the brain belongs to a man or a woman. You can do the same thing for different brain areas, or different aspects of connectivity and functionality.

Just like there is no male and female heights, but there are differences between the averages of male heights and female heights.

Well shit, I wasn't thinking of looking at a single still image but an MRI of a person as you ask them a question. But, the way you took it you are absolutely correct.
