Noise-induced entrainment and stochastic resonance in human brain waves.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the first observation of stochastic resonance (SR) in the human brain's visual processing area. The novel experimental protocol is to stimulate the right eye with a subthreshold periodic optical signal and the left eye with a noisy one. The stimuli bypass sensory organs and are mixed in the visual cortex. With many noise sources present in the brain, higher brain functions, e.g., perception and cognition, may exploit SR.

Effect of mechanical tactile noise on the amplitude 1 of visual evoked potentials : Multisensory 2 stochastic resonance
40 The present investigation documents the electrophysiological occurrence of 41 multisensory stochastic resonance in the human visual pathway elicited by tactile 42 noise. We define multisensory stochastic resonance of brain evoked potentials as 43 the phenomenon in which an intermediate level of input noise of one sensory 44 modality enhances the brain evoked response of another sensory modal...
متن کاملFunctional stochastic resonance in the human brain: noise induced sensitization of baroreflex system.
We demonstrate experimentally that noise can enhance the homeostatic function in the human blood pressure regulatory system. The results show that the compensatory heart rate response to the weak periodic signal introduced at the venous blood pressure receptor is optimized by adding noise to the arterial blood pressure receptor. We conclude that this functional stochastic resonance most likely ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Random Irregular Waves for Wave Generation in Laboratory Flumes
Understanding of wave hydrodynamics and its effects are important for engineers and scientists. Important insights may be gained from laboratory studies. Often the waves are simulated in laboratory flumes do not have the full characteristics of real sea waves. It is then necessary to present reliable methods of wave generation in wave flumes. In this paper, the results of numerically simulate...
متن کاملPersistency of noise-induced spatial periodicity in excitable media
– We study effects of spatiotemporal additive noise in conjunction with subthreshold travelling waves on the spatial dynamics of excitable media. We show that solely additive noise is able to extract an inherent spatial periodicity of the media in a resonant manner, thus marking the existence of spatial coherence resonance in the studied system. Next, in addition to noise, we introduce to the m...
متن کاملNoise-induced synchronization for phase turbulence
Phase turbulence is suppressed by applying common noise additively to the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky type equation, and the noise-induced phase synchronization is realized. The noise strength necessary for the suppression of phase turbulence is evaluated theoretically. PACS: 05.45.+b, 05.40.+j, 02.50-r Recently, various noise effects to nonlinear systems have been studied. The response of a bistable ...
