Abstract
Stochastic resonance (SR) is a phenomenon wherein the response of a no nlinear system to a weak periodic input signal is optimized by the pre sence of a particular level of noise. Here we present a method and the ory for characterizing SR-type behavior in excitable systems with aper iodic inputs. These developments demonstrate that noise can serve to e nhance the response of a nonlinear system to a weak input signal, rega rdless of whether the signal is periodic or aperiodic.
