Motivated by the dynamics of resonant neurons we consider a differentiable, non-Markovian random process $x(t)$ and particularly the time after which it will reach a certain level $x_b$. The probability density of this first passage time is…

Resetting is a renewal mechanism in which a process is intermittently repeated after a random or fixed time. This simple act of stop and repeat profoundly influences the behaviour of a system as exemplified by the emergence of…
