Abstract
In contrast with the conventionally observed mechanism of stochastic resonance (SR) wherein the level of additive noise is systematically varied with a fixed set-point parameter, in this work we report the emergence of the SR phenomena in an electrochemical system maintaining the same level of noise and varying the parametric distance from a homoclinic bifurcation inherent to the system. The experimental system involves the corrosion of a metal disk in an acidic medium under potentiostatic conditions. The applied potential is used as a control parameter and the anodic current generated during the electrodissolution of the metal is the accessible system variable. In the presence of noise, it was observed that the system was able to enhance its output's fidelity with a weak subthreshold input signal when the set point was kept at an optimal parametric distance from the bifurcation. Numerical simulations were performed on a model for this system to corroborate the experimental observations. This type of SR may be critical in scenarios where a biological entity has control only on its sensory parameters and not on the environmental noise amplitude.
