Stochastic Pooling Networks
Mark D. McDonnell, Pierre-Olivier Amblard, Nigel G. Stocks
We introduce and define the concept of a stochastic pooling network (SPN), as a model for sensor systems where redundancy and two forms of 'noise' -- lossy compression and randomne…
Optimal stimulus and noise distributions for information transmission via suprathreshold stochastic resonance
Mark D. McDonnell, Nigel G. Stocks, Derek Abbott
Suprathreshold stochastic resonance (SSR) is a form of noise enhanced signal transmission that occurs in a parallel array of independently noisy identical threshold nonlinearities,…
Point singularities and suprathreshold stochastic resonance in optimal coding
Mark D. McDonnell, Nigel G. Stocks, Charles E. M. Pearce +1
Motivated by recent studies of population coding in theoretical neuroscience, we examine the optimality of a recently described form of stochastic resonance known as suprathreshold…
