Time-interval sequences in bistable systems and the noise-induced transmission of information by sensory neurons
Abstract
We discuss the two time-interval sequences which play a crucial role in studies of escape times in bistable systems driven by periodic functions embedded in noise. We demonstrate that the probability density of escape times for one of the sequences exhibits all the substantive features of experimental interspike interval histograms recorded from real, periodically forced sensory neurons. Our analysis relies on linking this interval sequence to the firing-reset mechanism of real neurons, and illustrates the importance of the noise, without which the substantive features cannot exist, for the transmission of sensory information.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
