Abstract

The response of a noisy integrate-and-fire neuron with reset to periodic input is investigated. We numerically obtain the first-passage-time density of the pertaining Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and show how the power spectral density of the resulting spike train can be determined via Fourier transform. The neuron's output clearly exhibits stochastic resonance.
