This Article contains errors. Reference 23 was inadvertently omitted and is given below as Reference 1.

In addition, there are errors in the reference citations.

In the ‘Numerical Results’ section,

“If we now investigate the role of the thermal noise strength, we obtain a stochastic resonance effect18: the signal at low frequency (≈0.28 ± 0.09) can be boosted by adding white noise to the signal, which contains a wide spectrum of frequencies.”

should read:

In the ‘Discussion’ section,

“In particular chaotic irregular behavior emerging from regular unit dynamics has been seen in19, while the emergence of quasiperiodic motion has been shown in systems of oscillators20, neuron models21 and rotators22.”

Finally, the Acknowledgements section in this Article is incomplete.
