Abstract
A model system exhibiting a large number of attractors is investigated unde r the influence of noise. Several methods for discriminating two qualitativ ely different regions of the noise intensity are presented, and the phenome non of noise-induced preference of attractors is reported. Finally, the rel evance of our findings for detection of multiple stable states of systems o ccurring in nature or in the laboratory is pointed out. [S1063-651X(99)0140 5-1].
