Phys. Rev. E 66, 040901(R) (2002) [4 pages]Signal detection by means of phase coherence induced through phase resetting
Detection and location of moving prey utilizing electrosense or mechanosense is a strategy commonly followed by animals which cannot rely on visual sense or hearing. In this paper we consider the possibility to detect the source of a localized stimulus that travels along a chain of detectors at constant speed. The detectors are autonomous oscillators whose frequencies have a given natural spread. The detection mechanism is based on phase coherence which is built up by phase resetting induced by the passing stimulus. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
