Abstract

This paper employs statistical complexity measure (SCM) to investigate the occurrence of stochastic multiresonance (SMR) induced by noise and time delay in small-world neural networks coupled with FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) neurons. Our findings reveal that SCM exhibits four local maxima at four optimal noise levels, providing evidence for the occurrence of quadruple stochastic resonances. When time delay τ is taken into account in the information transmission, under moderate noise levels, SCM shows several local maxima when τ=nTe with n being a positive integer and Te being the period of subthreshold signal. This indicates the appearance of delay-induced SMR at the multiples of the period of subthreshold signal. Intriguingly, at low noise levels, a strong coherence between time delay and neuronal firing dynamics emerges at τ=nTe-2, as confirmed by a series of SCM maxima at these time delays. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that by adjusting the degrees and sizes of small-world networks, as well as the coupling strength, it is possible to optimize the strength of delay-induced SMR, thus maximizing the detection capability of subthreshold signal. The research results may provide us with an effective approach for understanding the role of time delay in signal detection and information transmission.
