  1. How about high-frequency, periodic excitation instead of noise?

    Congratulations on the nice paper!

    Can you perhaps rerun the experiments with high-frequency triangle waves instead of noise? The best is to use a frequency similar to that of the high- frequency end of your noise bandwidth.

    According to the results of my calculations, which I presented in the public debate session about Stochastic resonance at the Fluctuation and Noise (FaN) Symposium in Florence (2007), using triangle waves instead of noise would produce the best signal-to-noise ratio at the output of a threshold stochastic resonator and would not result in any stochasticity in the output signal.
