We investigate the behavior of a model neuron that receives a biophysically-realistic noisy post-synaptic current based on uncorrelated spiking activity from a large number of afferents. We show that, with static synapses, such noise can…
We discuss stochastic resonance (SR) effects in driven coupled quantum systems. We construct dynamical and information theoretic measures of the system's response that exhibit a non-monotonic behaviour as a function of the noise strength.…
There are certain classes of resistors, capacitors and inductors that, when subject to a periodic input of appropriate frequency, develop hysteresis loops in their characteristic response. Here, we show that the hysteresis of such memory…
Noise can shape the firing behaviors of neurons. Here, we show that noise acting on the fast variable of the Hedgehog burster can tune the spike counts of bursts via the self-induced stochastic resonance (SISR) phenomenon. Using the…
Additive white noise may significantly increase the response of bistable systems to a periodic driving signal. We consider two classes of double-well potentials, symmetric and asymmetric, modulated periodically in time with period $1/\eps$,…
In this thesis we consider stochastic resonance for a diffusion with drift given by a potential, which has two metastable states and two pathways between them. Depending on the direction of the forcing the height of the two barriers, one…
The phenomenon of sequential vibrational resonance existed in a multistable system that is excited by both high- and low-frequency signals is reported. By the method of direct separation of motions, the theoretical investigation on…
We propose a mechanism of stochastic resonance induced by spatial noise (electric random fields) in ferroelectrics. The calculations demonstrate the characteristic of the stochastic resonance: certain random field can increase the…
We study an extended system that without noise shows a spatially homogeneous state, but when submitted to an adequate multiplicative noise, some "noise-induced patterns" arise. The stochastic resonance between these structures is…
We analyze the synchronization transition of a globally coupled network of N phase oscillators with inertia (rotators) whose natural frequencies are unimodally or bimodally distributed. In the unimodal case, the system exhibits a…
We undertake a detailed numerical study of the phenomenon of stochastic resonance with multisignal inputs. A bistable cubic map is used as the model and we show that it combines the features of a bistable system and a threshold system. A…
As circuits continue to miniaturize, noise has become a significant obstacle to performance optimization. Stochastic resonance in logic circuits offers an innovative approach to harness noise constructively; however, current implementations…
