Abstract
Stochastic resonance (SR) is known as a phenomenon in which the presence of noise helps a nonlinear system in amplifying a weak (under barrier) signal. In this paper, we investigate how SR behavior can be observed in practical autoassociative neural networks with the Hopfield-type memory under the stochastic dynamics. We focus on SR responses in two systems which consist of three and 156 neurons. These cases are considered as effective double-well and multi-well models. It is demonstrated that the neural network can enhance weak subthreshold signals composed of the stored pattern trains and have higher coherence abilities between stimulus and response.
