Abstract: We speculate that the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon could provide a useful and alternative tool in the understanding of the microscopic dynamics of complex systems in the presence of noise. Our ideas are tested in the case of a very simple toy model of a biophysical process, portraying ionic channel conduction.
