An electrical stimulus resets the phase of a spontaneously rhythmic neuron. The "new phase" versus "old phase" curve shows either of two distinct topological characters, depending on the stimulus magnitude. These features, and a phase singularity implicit in them, are common to many stable oscillations deriving from continuous feedback between two or more biophysical quantities.
电刺激会重置自发节律性神经元的相位。“新相位”与“旧相位”曲线呈现出两种不同拓扑特征中的一种，这取决于刺激强度。这些特征以及其中隐含的相位奇点，对于许多源自两个或更多生物物理量之间持续反馈的稳定振荡来说是共有的。
