Adaptive stochastic resonance for unknown and variable input signals

Abstract All sensors have a threshold, defined by the smallest signal amplitude that can be detected. The detection of sub-threshold signals, however, is possible by using the principle of stochastic resonance, where noise is added to the input signal so that it randomly exceeds the sensor threshold...

Adaptive stochastic resonance for unknown and variable input signals
description Abstract All sensors have a threshold, defined by the smallest signal amplitude that can be detected. The detection of sub-threshold signals, however, is possible by using the principle of stochastic resonance, where noise is added to the input signal so that it randomly exceeds the sensor threshold. The choice of an optimal noise level that maximizes the mutual information between sensor input and output, however, requires knowledge of the input signal, which is not available in most practical applications. Here we demonstrate that the autocorrelation of the sensor output alone is sufficient to find this optimal noise level. Furthermore, we demonstrate numerically and analytically the equivalence of the traditional mutual information approach and our autocorrelation approach for a range of model systems. We furthermore show how the level of added noise can be continuously adapted even to highly variable, unknown input signals via a feedback loop. Finally, we present evidence that adaptive stochastic resonance based on the autocorrelation of the sensor output may be a fundamental principle in neuronal systems.
