Stochastic and Deterministic Resonances for Excitable Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dependence of four firing statistics in neuronal excitable systems is studied as a function of noise intensity and sinusoidal forcing period. For a range of biologically relevant frequencies, we find that the noise amplitude optimizing these statistics depends on the forcing period T , and that stochastic resonance with time-scale matching occurs. Results are explained by the interplay of generic static and dynamic threshold properties of excitable systems. [S0031-9007(98)07562-0]

Phase Locking and Resonances for Stochastic Excitable Systems
We investigate the phase locking of firing events in periodically forced stochastic excitable systems. Our study is motivated by the observation of randomly phase locked firing activity in a large number of neurons, especially those involved in transducing physical stimuli such as temperature, sound, pressure and electric fields. The purpose of our paper is to review our work on the biophysical...
متن کاملDetecting and quantifying stochastic and coherence resonances via information-theory complexity measurements.
Statistical complexity measures are used to detect noise-induced order and to quantify stochastic and coherence resonances. We illustrate the method with two paradigmatic models, one of a Brownian particle in a sinusoidally modulated bistable potential, and the other, the FitzHugh-Nagumo model of excitable systems. The method can be employed for the precise detection of subtle signatures of noi...
متن کاملSelf-induced stochastic resonance in excitable systems
The effect of small-amplitude noise on excitable systems with strong time-scale separation is analyzed. It is found that vanishingly small random perturbations of the fast excitatory variable may result in the onset of a deterministic limit cycle behavior, absent without noise. The mechanism, termed self-induced stochastic resonance, combines a stochastic resonance-type phenomenon with an intri...
متن کاملStochastic human fatigue modeling in production systems
The performance of human resources is affected by various factors such as mental and physical fatigue, skill, and available time in the production systems. Generally, these mentioned factors have effects on human reliability and consequently change the reliability of production systems. Fatigue is a stochastic factor that changes according to other factors such as environmental conditions, work...
متن کاملWavetrain response of an excitable medium to local stochastic forcing
We consider the effect of stochastic forcing on a one-dimensional excitable reactiondiffusion system, where the noise only acts on a small subdomain of the medium. We show that there are distinguished scaling limits in which the stochastic forcing gives rise to a mean response of a periodic wavetrain of pulses which are deterministic in the limit. Thus, the system responds coherently and period...
