Complex bodily rhythms are ubiquitous in living organisms. These rhythms arise from
stochastic, nonlinear biological mechanisms interacting with a fluctuating environment …

Objective: To review the stochastic resonance phenomena observed in sensory systems
and to describe how a random process (noise') added to a subthreshold stimulus can …

Everyday human actions often occur in a social context. Past psychological research has
found that the motor behavior of socially situated individuals tends to be coordinated. Our …

Noise can enhance the detection and transmission of weak signals in certain nonlinear
systems, via a mechanism known as stochastic resonance. Here we show that input noise …

Objective Somatosensory function declines with diabetic neuropathy and often with stroke,
resulting in diminished motor performance. Recently, it has been shown that input noise can …

We are taught by conventional wisdom that the transmission and detection of signals is
hindered by noise. However, during the last two decades, the paradigm of stochastic …

Noise can assist neurons in the detection of weak signals via a mechanism known as
stochastic resonance (SR). We demonstrate experimentally that SR-type effects can be …

We present the first observation of stochastic resonance (SR) in the human brain's visual
processing area. The novel experimental protocol is to stimulate the right eye with a …

Somatosensory information is critical to balance control and fall prevention in older adults.
Recently, it has been shown that low-level input noise (electrical or mechanical) can …

We review our work on using input noise (mechanical and electrical, respectively) to
enhance somatosensation in humans and improve the performance of the human balance …
