  • Title: Stochastic resonance in neuron models: endogenous stimulation revisited.
    Author: Plesser HE, Geisel T.
    Journal: Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys; 2001 Mar; 63(3 Pt 1):031916. PubMed ID: 11308687.
    Abstract:
    The paradigm of stochastic resonance (SR)-the idea that signal detection and transmission may benefit from noise-has met with great interest in both physics and the neurosciences. We investigate here the consequences of reducing the dynamics of a periodically driven neuron to a renewal process (stimulation with reset or endogenous stimulation). This greatly simplifies the mathematical analysis, but we show that stochastic resonance as reported earlier occurs in this model only as a consequence of the reduced dynamics.
