R. Mannella et al., STOCHASTIC RESONANCE AS A TOOL FOR SIGNAL-PROCESSING - DISCRETE MARKOV SCHEMES VERSUS CONTINUOUS DYNAMICS IN A TOY MODEL OF ION-CHANNEL CONDUCTION, Physics letters. A, 197(1), 1995, pp. 25-30
We speculate that the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon could provi
de a useful and alternative tool in the understanding of the microscop
ic dynamics of complex systems in the presence of noise. Our ideas are
tested in the case of a very simple toy model of a biophysical proces
s, portraying ionic channel conduction.
