摘要
Several types of constant routine are accepted as an important means by which the endogenous component of circadian rhythms can be studied. Nevertheless, they are impracticable to perform and unsuitable for routine use in many individuals. We describe a group of simple methods with which rhythms measured in normal circumstances can be dissociated into the components due to masking and the internal clock. Each method is best suited to a particular type of experimental condition. Results from a variety of protocols are analysed by these and conventional methods to assess the validity of the new methods.
