Bottom-up (data-driven) processing begins with the information picked up by the sensory receptors and builds up from those features to a perception of the whole. Recognising an unfamiliar shape by putting together its lines and angles is an example.
Top-down processing works in the opposite direction, from knowledge, expectations and context down to the interpretation of the input, as when context lets you read a smudged word. 'Neural processing' and 'perceptual processing' are general descriptions that do not specify where processing begins.
