Enhanced Stochastic Resonance in Threshold Detectors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the influence of noise modulation on the detection of subthreshold periodic signals in threshold detectors under the paradigm of stochastic resonance. More particularly, we show that having an input noise amplitude modulated by the input signal can enhance the phenomenon of stochastic resonance. We then apply this result to a neuron model for which the noise modulation mechanism is an intrinsic property coming from the shot-noise nature of the neuron membrane potential.

Coherence and stochastic resonance in threshold crossing detectors with delayed feedback
We consider the dynamical behavior of threshold systems driven by external periodic and stochastic signals and internal delayed feedback. Specifically, the effect of positive delayed feedback on the sensitivity of a threshold crossing detector (TCD) to periodic forcing embedded in noise is investigated. The system has an intrinsic ability to oscillate in the presence of positive feedback. We fi...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Stochastic Resonance in a Thresholded Detector
A subthreshold signal may be detected if noise is added to the data. The noisy signal must be strong enough to exceed the threshold at least occasionally; but very strong noise tends to drown out the signal. There is an optimal noise level, called stochastic resonance. We explore the detectability of different signals, using statistical detectability measures. In the simplest setting, the signa...
متن کاملNoise-benefit Forbidden Interval Theorems for Threshold Signal Detectors Based on Cross Correlation
We show that the main forbidden interval theorems of stochastic resonance hold for a correlation performance measure. Earlier theorems held only for performance measures based on mutual information or the probability of error detection. Forbidden interval theorems ensure that a threshold signal detector benefits from deliberately added noise if the average noise does not lie in an interval that...

متن کاملEnhanced coding for exponentially distributed signals using suprathreshold stochastic resonance
Our previous work on stochastic resonance (SR) in threshold based systems proved that the SR effect is dependent on the nature of the input signal distribution; more specifically, for certain types of signal distribution SR is not observed [Das A, Stocks NG, Nikitin A, Hines EL. Quantifying stochastic resonance in a single threshold detector for random aperiodic signals. Fluctuation Noise Lett ...
