Restoring the encoding properties of a stochastic neuron model by an exogenous noise [PDF]
, 2015 Here we evaluate the possibility of improving the encoding properties of an impaired neuronal system by superimposing an exogenous noise to an external electric stimulation signal. The approach is based on the use of mathematical neuron models consisting
