Abstract
We consider the dynamics of the membrane voltage of Euplotes vannus and we suppose that behind this behaviour there is a system that generates Stochas tic Resonance phenomena (Benzi R, Sutera A, Vulpiani A. J Phys A 1981;14:L4 53). We observe the statistical distributions of the resident times in the polarised and depolarised states. The experimental data are compared with t he results obtained by an analogue device that simulates a model that gives an Autonomous Stochastic Resonance Process. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
