Response to combined perturbations of ±50 ms and experimental reconstruction of phase space. (a) Averaged time series of traditional simple temporal perturbations (+T and −T), combined opposite perturbations (−S+T and +S−T), and combined analogous perturbations (+S+T and −S−T). (b) Embedding of the time series shown in (A); the dots correspond to the perturbation step (n = 0; previous steps are not shown for visual clarity). The paths taken by the opposite and analogous perturbations are very similar to the simple temporal perturbations but with different initial points; the initial points are organized according to the expected asynchrony value (from the origin outwards: opposite-simple-analogous). Mean across subjects; the error bands are not shown for visual clarity.
