Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

The experimental discovery of stochastic resonance in biology is the most influential work of Frank Moss. Stochastic resonance is a non-intuitive phenomenon, whereby the addition of noise to a wide class of nonlinear systems can enhance the detectability of a weak coherent signal. Professor Moss was the first to begin studies of this process applied to sensory biology. He discovered the phenomenon in the hydrodynamically sensitive neurons of the crayfish and stimulated much further work not only in biology, but also in medical science.
