Pink-noise behaviour of biosystems

Eur Biophys J. 2001 Jul;30(3):227-31. doi: 10.1007/s002490100143.

Abstract

Pink (1/f) noise is one of the most common behaviours of biosystems. Our present paper is devoted to clarify the origin of this interesting phenomenon. It is shown that the stationary random stochastic processes under self-similar conditions (as we have in living objects) generate pink noise independently of the kind and number of variables.
