Abstract
The peripheral layers of neural processing in a simple sensory system exhibits broadband stochastic resonance, which is involved in a wide range of biologically relevant stimulus parameters. Stochastic resonance is a phenomenon where increasing the input noise level can improve the output signal-to-noise ratio over a limited range of signal and noise strengths. With the use of information theory, the functional significance of the phenomenon is measured within the context of signal processing.
