The effects of perturbing an on-going biological oscillation with a single brief stimulus are considered. If the time from some observable event before the stimulus to the next event after the stimulus is plotted as a function of the phase of the stimulus, then there may be discontinuities in this plot. The discontinuities reflect the size of the stimulus and the topological properties of the biological oscillation. The implications for experiments are discussed.
