Cross-modal stochastic resonance is a ubiquitous phenomenon, that is, a weak signal from one sensory pathway can be enhanced by the noise from a different sensory pathway. It is a special multisensory integration (MI) that can not be explained by the inverse-effectiveness rule. According to cross-modal stochastic resonance, the detection of signal is an inverted U-like function of the intensity of noise at different levels. In this paper, we reviewed the research of cross-modal stochastic resonance and put forward some possible explanations for it. These efforts raise a new idea for neural encoding and information processing of the brain.
跨模态随机共振是一种普遍存在的现象，即来自一种感觉通路的微弱信号可以被来自不同感觉通路的噪声增强。它是一种特殊的多感觉整合（MI），无法用逆有效性规则来解释。根据跨模态随机共振，信号检测是不同水平噪声强度的倒U形函数。在本文中，我们回顾了跨模态随机共振的研究，并提出了一些可能的解释。这些工作为大脑的神经编码和信息处理提出了一个新的思路。
