Suprathreshold stochastic resonance in multilevel threshold system driven by multiplicative and additive noises

The suprathreshold stochastic resonance in multithreshold neuronal networks system driven by multiplicative Gaussian noise and additive Gaussian noise is studied. The expression of the mutual information is derived, and the effects of the noise intensity and system parameter on mutual information are discussed. It is found that adjusting the additive noise intensity is more effective than adjusting the multiplicative noise intensity to enhance information transmission, and the more the number of devices, the more apparent the phenomenon of suprathreshold stochastic resonance. Moreover, we also found that the selection of threshold is very important in the process of information transmission.
