Internal noise determines external stochastic resonance in visual perception
We provide the first experimental evidence that the internal noise level determines whether external noise can enhance the detectability of a weak signal. We conduct a visual detection experiment in the absence and presence of visual noise. We define three indices of external stochastic resonance effects, consider the spread of the psychometric function without external noise as an internal noi...
متن کاملVisual Perception of Stochastic Resonance
Stochastic resonance can be used as a measuring tool to quantify the ability of the human brain to interpret noise contaminated visual patterns. Here we report the results of a psychophysics experiment which show that the brain can consistently and quantitatively interpret detail in a stationary image obscured with time varying noise and that both the noise intensity and its temporal characteri...
متن کاملStochastic resonance due to internal noise in reaction kinetics.
We study a reaction model that presents stochastic resonance purely due to internal noise. This means that the only source of fluctuations comes from the discrete character of the reactants, and no more noises enter into the system. Our analysis reveals that the phenomenon is highly complex, and that is generated by the interplay of different stochasticity at the three fixed points of a bistabl...
متن کاملEnhancement of internal-noise coherence resonance by modulation of external noise in a circadian oscillator.
A circadian oscillator driven by external noise and internal noise has been studied by use of the chemical Langevin equation method. When the system is near a Hopf bifurcation and driven by internal noise only, it is found that the coherence resonance phenomenon can be induced by the internal noise. When the system is simultaneously driven by internal and external noise, it is found that extern...
متن کاملThe central tendency bias in color perception: effects of internal and external noise.
Perceptual estimates can be biased by previously seen stimuli in delayed estimation tasks. These biases are often toward the mean of the whole stimulus set. Recently, we demonstrated such a central tendency bias in delayed color estimation. In the Bayesian framework of perceptual inference, perceptual biases arise when noisy sensory measurements are combined with prior information about the wor...
