Abstract
In many animals and insects, hearing is very acute to the faintest of sounds; the underlying mechanism can be explained by self-tuning. Recently, signal response amplification has been shown to be implemented through networks exhibiting scale-free topology, which has potential applications in artificial information processing systems and devices. We review in this paper the main results obtained in networked double-well oscillators and briefly discuss future research directions.
