Abstract

The article discusses the source of sound which is a broadband signal that contains frequencies and audible frequencies. Stochastic resonance is the phenomenon of noise which increases the detectability of a faint signal that is applied to non-linear systems. Researchers discovered that the brain generates its own internal noise to exploit stochastic resonance which is based on the architecture of the Drosophilla olfactory system.
