title: Stochastic resonance in a non-markovian discrete state model for excitable systems.
abstract: We study a non-Markovian three state model, subjected to an external periodic signal. This model is intended to describe an excitable system with periodical driving. In the limit of a small amplitude of the external signal we derive expressions for the spectral power amplification and the signal to noise ratio as well as for the interspike interval distribution.
