40. While this assumption definitely holds for small generation rates (small ion channel densities), it may be violated at high generation rates. Autocorrelation analysis of alamethicin channel currents at high channel densities shows a conductance-dependent increase in correlation times [H.-A. Kolb and G. Boheim, "Analysis of the multipore system of alamethicin in a lipid membrane. II. Autocorrelation analysis and power spectral density," J. Membrane Biol. 38, 151-191 (1978)]. It means that high input noise intensities increasing the average channel generation rate by orders of magnitude, can change a number of system parameters such as the mean pulse duration and the characteristic cut-off frequency of channel voltage sensitivity.
