Mechanism of stochastic resonance enhancement in neuronal models driven by 1/f noise.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Noise can assist neurons in the detection of weak signals via a mechanism known as stochastic resonance (SR). In a previous study [Phys. Lett. A 243, 281 (1998)], we showed that when colored noise with 1/f(beta) spectrum is added to the FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) neuronal model, the optimal noise variance for SR could be minimized with beta approximately 1. In this study, we investigate analytically how the noise color (beta) affects the SR profile in a linearized version of the FHN model. We demonstrate that the aforementioned effect of 1/f noise is related to the dynamical characteristics of the model neuron, i.e., the refractory period, the low-pass filtering effect of the membrane capacitance, and the high-pass filtering effect of the recovery variable.

Stochastic resonance of the visually evoked potential
Stochastic resonance refers to the enhancement of a signal by the addition of a small amount of noise and its degradation by a larger amount of noise. It occurs in a variety of physical systems including neuronal systems. However, its demonstration in neuronal systems has so far been limited to single-dimensional systems such as a single mechanoreceptor. We report here the existence of stochast...
متن کاملSubharmonic stochastic synchronization and resonance in neuronal systems.
We study the response of a model neuron, driven simultaneously by noise and at least two weak periodic signals. We focus on signals with frequencies components kf(0),(k+1)f(0),...(k+n)f(0) with k>1. The neuron's output is a sequence of pulses spaced at random interpulse intervals. We find an optimum input noise intensity for which the output pulses are spaced approximately 1/f(0), i.e., there i...
متن کاملNeural mechanism for binaural pitch perception via ghost stochastic resonance.
We present a physiologically plausible binaural mechanism for the perception of the pitch of complex sounds via ghost stochastic resonance. In this scheme, two neurons are driven by noise and a different periodic signal each (with frequencies f(1)=kf(0) and f(2)=(k+1)f(0), where k>1), and their outputs (plus noise) are applied synaptically to a third neuron. Our numerical results, using the Mor...

متن کاملSignal amplification by 1/f noise in silicon-based nanomechanical resonators.
We report signal amplification by 1/f(alpha) noise with stochastic resonance in a nonlinear nanomechanical resonator. The addition of 1/f(alpha) noise to a subthreshold modulation signal enhances the probability of an electrostatically driven resonator switching between its two vibrational states in the hysteretic region. Considering the prevalence of 1/f noise in the materials in integrated ci...
