Signal detection by means of phase synchronization induced through phase resetting — •Björn Naundorf and J. A. Freund — Institut für Physik, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Invalidenstr. 110, D-10115 Berlin

We consider the possibility to detect the source of a weak stimulus which travels along a chain of detectors at a constant speed. The detectors are autonomous oscillators whose frequencies have a given natural spread. The detection mechanism is essentially based on phase synchronization which builds up by phase resetting induced through the passing stimulus.

Possible applications to biological systems will be discussed.
