We explore stochastic resonance effects in the response of a complex stochastic system formed by a finite number of interacting, identical subunits driven by a time-periodic force. The driving force alone cannot induce sustained oscillations between the different attractors of the dynamics in the absence of noise. We focus on a global stochastic variable defined as the arithmetic mean of the relevant stochastic variable of each subunit. We construct numerical approximations to its first two long time cumulant moments and its long time correlation function. We also compute the output signal-to-noise ratio and the stochastic resonance gain, for a wide range of parameter values and several types of driving forces. The coupling between the subsystems leads, within adequate ranges of the parameter values, to global outputs with very large signal-to-noise ratios. We have also observed gains larger than unity in the global response to subthreshold sinusoidal driving forces.

Animal morphogenesis, the development of an organism's body form, is commonly perceived as a directed and almost deterministic process. However, noise and stochastic fluctuations are ubiquitous in biological systems. The questions on the role of fluctuations in morphogenesis and what ensures the robustness of this process under noisy conditions remain elusive.

Understanding the differences between functional and structural human brain connectivity has been a focus of an extensive amount of neuroscience research. We employ a novel approach using the multinomial stochastic block model (MSBM) to explicitly extract components that characterize prominent differences across graphs. We analyze structural and functional connectomes derived from high-resolution diffusion-weighted MRI and fMRI scans of 250 Human Connectome Project subjects, analyzed at group connectivity level across 50 subjects.

Imperceptible noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) improves standing balance due to the presence of stochastic resonance (SR). There is, however, a lack of consensus regarding the optimal levels and type of noise used to elicit SR like dynamics. We aimed to confirm the presence of SR behavior in the vestibular system of young healthy adults by examining postural responses to increasing amplitudes of white and pink noise stimulation scaled to individual cutaneous perceptual threshold.

Noise is generally considered to have negative effects on information processing performance. However, it has also been proven that adding random noise or a certain level of stochastic (random) variability to a nonlinear system can increase its performance or sensitivity to weak signals. Despite the studies on this concept, called stochastic resonance in computational neuroscience, this phenomenon is still among the topics that need detailed research, especially in machine learning.
