Abstract :
An investigation is conducted on stochastic resonance with the Hodgkin-Huxley (H-H) equations involving key variables in simplified nonlinear firing dynamics of human cortical sensory neurons. The neuron membrane potential, depicted by a characteristic continuous bursting phenomenon, is first demonstrated within a deterministic framework. With the addition of a noise input, certain throughput dependent measures are then explored both theoretically as well as with a MATLAB simulation. This methodology has applicability in understanding how best to design command inputs into certain systems to optimize specified throughput characteristics of their response
