We could demonstrate frequency- and noise-selective signal acceptance which is based on several noise-supported stochastic attractors that arise owing to slow variable diffusion between identical excitable elements. The attractors have different average periods distinct from that of an isolated oscillator and various phase relations between the elements. We explain the correspondence between the noise-supported stochastic attractors and the observed resonance peaks in the curves for the linear response versus signal frequency.

Such a coupling provides coexisting of several average periods distinct from that of an isolated oscillator and several phase relations between elements. We show that the response of the coupled elements under different noise levels can be significantly enhanced or reduced by forcing some elements in resonance with these new frequencies which correspond to appropriate phase relations}, language = {en} }
