Abstract

Measurements of the time evolution of the statistical density as a control parameter is swept through a bifurcation point in the presence of additive noise are presented. We have used these densities to study branch selectivity, which results from a small, additive interaction. A universal time scale for all such processes is established. The results are in good agreement with a recent theory.
