Intrinsic channel noise is fundamental to neural processing, yet its state-dependent nature, when constrained by strict Feller boundary conditions, is often overlooked. Here, we demonstrate that this bounded multiplicative noise is not…

Escape from a potential well occurs in a wide variety of physical systems from chemical reactions to ship capsize. In these situations escape often occurs by passage over a normally hyperbolic submanifold (NHS). This paper describes the…
