Abstract:
We give evidence of coherence resonance in an excitable electronic circuit whose dynamics obeys the FitzHugh-Nagumo model system, under the application of different noise sources, ranging from Gaussian white noise to colored 1/f2 noises. The resonance behavior can be significantly reinforced when experimental parameters are tuned in order to place the stable fixed point closer to the excitability threshold of spiking behavior, as well as when the time scales of the circuit are properly modified. A quantitative description of the effects of noise correlations in inducing the resonant behavior is provided.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
