A model of two interacting species produced by the same signal. Differential time dependent signal detection by two competing products. a.) two species, denoted by X and Y in are produced by the same signal f(t). Species Y negatively interacts with species X. Species X can positively interact with itself. The activity of species f is transient with associated signal duration. b.) frequency dependent gain of two interacting products. Plots of g _X (ω) (solid line) and g _Y (ω) (dashed line) are shown. All parameters are taken to be 1.0 (in appropriate units) with the exception of α₁; α₂ = 1.5.
