Abstract

Mean and variance of the first passage time through a constant boundary for the Ornstein Uhlenbeck process are determined by a straighforward differentiation of the Laplace transform of the first passage time probability density function. The results of some numerical computations are discussed to shed some light on the input-output behavior of a formal neuron whose dynamics is modeled by a diffusion process of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type.
