- acrophase
- phase angle of the maximal value of a sine function fitted to the raw data of a rhythm; a measure of the time of the peak of an oscillation.
- diurnal
- active during the day
- discrete model
- all at once your circadian rhythm is shifted
- continuous model
- as you process info, you adjust the clock a little at a time
- LD:14:10
- means 14 hours light, 10 hours dark
- alpha
- active
- rho
- inactivity of rest period
- peak acrophase
- when a cycle is at its peak of activity
- CT
- circadian time
- PRC
- phase response curve
- difference between a pacemaker and an oscillator
-
pacemaker = master clock
oscillator =can be master, slave, or coupled; can be linked to other clocks. -
DD
vs
LL -
DD=constant dark
LL = constant light - T cycle
- is a time cycle of LD 12:12
- circle with a line in the center
- phase relationship of bio to enviro?
- rho (looks like p)
- rest period
- zeitgeber
- any environmental factor that provides a temporal cue
