The natural environment is inherently noisy with acoustic interferences. It is, therefore, beneficial for a species to modify its vocal production to effectively communicate in the presence of interfering noises. Non-human primates have been traditionally considered to possess limited voluntary vocal control, but little is known about their ability to modify vocal behavior when encountering int...

We have investigated the transport properties of multiplicative and additive noise driven spatially periodic system. The phase difference between periodic potential and periodic function in multiplicative noise term and the cross-correlation between multiplicative and additive noise can break the detail balance of the system independently to produce directed motion. The magnitude of current due...

Random telegraph noise in the electric current produced by shot noise is predicted for an array of movable colloid particles by Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics calculations. The electron transport is attributed to the shuttle mechanism where moving colloid particles carry charges. The colloid-particle motion induced by the source-drain voltage shows periodic and/or quasiperiodic vibrations, ...

We consider how the period of an oscillator is affected by white noise, with special attention given to the cases of additive noise and parameter fluctuations. Our treatment is based upon the concepts of isochrons, which extend the notion of the phase of a stable periodic orbit to the basin of attraction of the periodic orbit, and phase response curves, which can be used to understand the geome...

We investigate the overdamped transport of Brownian particles that are placed in spatially periodic potentials ~without and with reflection symmetry! that are subjected to both Poissonian white shot noise and thermal, i.e., Gaussian, white equilibrium fluctuations. The probability current of the output process, which is shown to obey a second-order ordinary differential equation, is analyzed. T...
