Abstract
We outline the historical development of stochastic resonance (SR), a phenomenon in which the signal and/or the signal-to-noise ratio in a n onlinear system increase with increasing intensity of noise. We discus s basic theoretical ideas explaining and describing SR, and we review some revealing experimental data that place SR within the wider contex t of statistical physics. We emphasize the close relationship of SR to some effects that are well known in condensed-matter physics.
