Recent psychophysical evidence suggests that stochastic resonance may feature in high level brain function and in the perception of ambiguous figures. Properties of Cold Receptors. As temperature increases the burst length reduces, as does the interburst period, until at the middle of its operating range the neuron emits a regular spike train with phase-locked spikes. Using Floquet theory and the Fokker-Planck equation we have analysed both regimes and are able to predict how many spikes occur per burst, and furthermore at what temperature the transition from bursting to spiking occurs.
