Abstract
The responses of an oscillatory system to single perturbations can often guide one to a deeper understanding of the system’s dynamics. Such experimentation has been emphasized in several studies of the circadian wake-sleep rhythm. The issue examined in this chapter, as well as the next, is the extent to which Coupled Stochastic Systems can accomodate the data obtained from treatment of nocturnal rodents, and of diurnal birds, with single light pulses.
