Subordinating regular diffusion – namely, Brownian motion – to random time flows generated by Lévy noises may result in anomalous diffusion. Motivated by this phenomena, and by the recent interest in the phenomena of blinking in various physical systems, we explore the subordination of regular stochastic pulsation – namely, Poisson process – to random time flows generated by Lévy noises. We show that such subordination may yield, analogous to the case of diffusion, anomalous pulsation. Anomalous pulsation displays the following anomalous behaviors, which are impossible in the case of regular pulsation: (i) simultaneous emission of multiple pulses; (ii) non-linear local pulsation rates; (iii) clustering of pulsation epochs.
