Stochastic resonance in a discrete neuron with time delay and two different modulation signals

Stochastic resonance in an excitable neuron based on the Rulkov map with noise, delay feedback, low-frequency signal and high-frequency signal is investigated numerically. The results show that there exist an optimal noise intensity, optimal time delay and optimal amplitude of the high-frequency signal at which the phase synchronisation between the low-frequency input signal and the output signal is the best. The Fourier coefficient is calculated to measure the stochastic resonance. It is found that the existence of a maximum in the Q - tau, Q - B and Q - D plots is the identifying characteristic of the stochastic resonance phenomenon.
