Measuring the signal-to-noise ratio of a neuron.
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), a commonly used measure of fidelity in physical systems, is defined as the ratio of the squared amplitude or variance of a signal relative to the variance of the noise. This definition is not appropriate for neural systems in which spiking activity is more accurately represented as point processes. We show that the SNR estimates a ratio of expected prediction er...
متن کاملSuprathreshold stochastic resonance and signal-to-noise ratio improvement in arrays of comparators
We consider parallel arrays of threshold comparators similar to those modelling flash analog-to-digital converters, or digital sonar arrays, or networks of sensory neurons. Such arrays are used here for the transmission of a noisy periodic input signal, with a performance assessed by a signal-to-noise ratio in the frequency domain. We show that independent noises injected on the comparators can...
متن کاملSignal-to-Noise Ratio Improvement of EMCCD Cameras
Over the past years, the EMCCD has had a profound influence on photon starved imaging applications relying on its unique multiplication register based on the impact ionization effect in the silicon. High signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) means high image quality. Thus, SNR improvement is important for the EMCCD. This work analyzes the SNR performance of an EMCCD with gain off and on. In each mode, si...
متن کاملOptical signal to noise ratio improvement through unbalanced noise beating in phase-sensitive parametric amplifiers.
We investigate the beating of signal and idler waves, which have imbalanced signal to noise ratios, in a phase-sensitive parametric amplifier. Imbalanced signal to noise ratios are achieved in two ways; first by imbalanced noise loading; second by varying idler to signal input power ratio. In the case of imbalanced noise loading the phase-sensitive amplifier improved the signal to noise ratio f...
متن کاملSignal-to-Noise Ratio Estimation
Of the many measures that characterize the performance of a communication receiver, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is perhaps the most fundamental in that many of the other measures directly depend on its knowledge for their evaluation. In the design of receivers for autonomous operation, it is desirable that the estimation of SNR take place with as little known information as possible regarding o...
