Noise in dynamical systems is usually considered a nuisance. But in certain nonlinear systems, including electronic circuits and biological sensory apparatus, the presence of noise can in fact enhance the detection of weak signals. This phenomenon, called stochastic resonance, may find useful application in physical, technological and biomedical contexts.
动态系统中的噪声通常被视为一种干扰。但在某些非线性系统中,包括电子电路和生物传感装置,噪声的存在实际上可以增强对微弱信号的检测。这种现象被称为随机共振,可能在物理、技术和生物医学领域找到有用的应用。
