Stochastic resonance has been observed in many forms of systems, and has been hotly debated by scientists for over 30 years. Applications incorporating aspects of stochastic resonance may yet prove revolutionary in fields such as distributed sensor networks, nano-electronics, and biomedical prosthetics. Ideal for researchers in fields ranging from computational neuroscience through to electronic engineering, this 2008 book addresses in detail various theoretical aspects of stochastic quantization, in the context of the suprathreshold stochastic resonance effect. Initial chapters review stochastic resonance and outline some of the controversies and debates that have surrounded it. The book then discusses suprathreshold stochastic resonance, and its extension to more general models of stochastic signal quantization. Finally, it considers various constraints and tradeoffs in the performance of stochastic quantizers, before culminating with a chapter in the application of suprathreshold stochastic resonance to the design of cochlear implants.
Industry Reviews
Review of the hardback: 'A major strength of this book is its capture of the expertise of four leading exponents of stochastic resonance research. Four heads here certainly provide an optimal performance. Take home messages from all the chapters are provided in clear 'in a nutshell' summaries. ... the authors have rendered a major service to a multi-disciplinary research community which can benefit from the clarity of exposition offered in this book. It is to be hoped that that community will repay its debt to these authors by taking forward wherever possible applications of stochastic resonance.' Contemporary Physics
