Abstract
Recent work regarding stochastic motion in a bistable potential is critiqued. Emphasis is placed on mean first-passage time analysis and the effects of colored noise. Controversy has arisen regarding general theory, particular calculations, and numerical simulations. Each of these aspects of the problem is addressed in this paper.Keywords
