We model the dynamics of the leaky integrate-fire neuron under periodic stimulation as a Markov process with respect to the stimulus phase. This avoids the unrealistic assumption of a stimulus reset after each spike made in earlier work and…

Neuronal responses are conspicuously variable. We focus on one particular aspect of that variability: the precision of action potential timing. We show that for common models of noisy spike generation, elementary considerations imply that…

The problem of a linear damped noisy oscillator is treated in the presence of two multiplicative sources of noise which imply a random mass and random damping. The additive noise and the noise in the damping are responsible for an influx of…

We investigate stochastic resonance (SR) in an ensemble of coupled overdamped bistable oscillators driven by colored noise. The networks incorporate the weighted contributions of both pairwise coupling and 2-simplex coupling. Our findings…

We analyze the effects of noise on the traveling wave dynamics in neural fields. The noise influences the dynamics on two scales: first, it causes fluctuations in the wave profile, and second, it causes a random shift in the phase of the…

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…

We study the role of multiplicative colored noise for different values of the correlation time $\tau_c$ in the dynamics of two competing species, described by generalized Lotka-Volterra equations. The multiplicative colored noise models the…

A steadily increasing body of evidence suggests that the brain performs probabilistic inference to interpret and respond to sensory input and that trial-to-trial variability in neural activity plays an important role. The neural sampling…

Constriction-based Josephson weak-links display a thermal bi-stability between two states exhibiting zero and finite voltages. This manifests in experiments either as hysteresis in weak-links current voltage characteristics or as random…

Neural correlations play a critical role in sensory information coding. They are of two kinds: signal correlations, when neurons have overlapping sensitivities, and noise correlations from network effects and shared noise. In experiments…

The seemingly stochastic transient dynamics of neocortical circuits observed in vivo have been hypothesized to represent a signature of ongoing stochastic inference. In vitro neurons, on the other hand, exhibit a highly deterministic…
