Philosophy Wire: Feel the noise!

Adding noise to enhance a weak signal is a sensing phenomenon common in the animal world but unusual in manmade sensors. Now researchers have added a small amount of background noise to enhance very weak signals in a light source too dim to sense. [1]

Add noise.
Increase power.

Let me see.
I can see everything now.
There is not much to see.
Just a blur.

Let me see.
So much noise.
I can see it all now.
But I am missing.

The things which I should not see.
Don’t you see?
These are the ones we should.
Let me see now.

So much noise.
I can’t hear anything…
