The stochastic resonance is an increase, at a certain probability, of signal response caused by applying noise at random when passing a very small signal. It is evident in the neural circuit of the human brain and sensory cells in the animals, but was originally proposed to explain the periodic occurrence of the ice ages. The theory is now applied in the electronic circuits and a coherent signal is enhanced by adding random noise...
