Signal propagation and noisy circuits
The information carried by a signal decays when the signal is corrupted by random noise. This occurs when a message is transmitted over a noisy channel, as well as when a noisy component performs computation. We first study this signal decay in the context of communication and obtain a tight bound on the rate at which information decreases as a signal crosses a noisy channel. We then use this i...
متن کاملRobust information propagation through noisy neural circuits
Sensory neurons give highly variable responses to stimulation, which can limit the amount of stimulus information available to downstream circuits. Much work has investigated the factors that affect the amount of information encoded in these population responses, leading to insights about the role of covariability among neurons, tuning curve shape, etc. However, the informativeness of neural re...
متن کاملWeak signal propagation through noisy feedforward neuronal networks.
We determine under which conditions the propagation of weak periodic signals through a feedforward Hodgkin-Huxley neuronal network is optimal. We find that successive neuronal layers are able to amplify weak signals introduced to the neurons forming the first layer only above a certain intensity of intrinsic noise. Furthermore, we show that as low as 4% of all possible interlayer links are suff...
متن کاملNoisy signal amplification in ultrasensitive signal transduction.
Because intracellular processes are inherently noisy, stochastic reactions process noisy signals in cellular signal transduction. One essential feature of biological signal transduction systems is the amplification of small changes in input signals. However, small random changes in the input signals could also be amplified, and the transduction reaction can also generate noise. Here, we show th...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Substrate Noise in Mixed-Signal Circuits Applied to a Special VCO
The mixed-signal circuits with both analog and digital blocks on a single chip have wide applications in communication and RF circuits. Integrating these two blocks can cause serious problems especially in applications requiring fast digital circuits and high performance analog blocks. Fast switching in digital blocks generates a noise which can be introduced to analog circuits by the common su...
