Abstract
We study the possibility to synchronize cardiorhythm of a human by periodic and aperiodic sequences of light and sound pulses. Aperiodic forcing is de fined by variation of RR intervals of another subject. Phase locking betwee n cardiorhythm and weak external forcing is detected on finite time interva ls. We observe the 1 : 1 synchronization for periodic forcing and II : m sy nchronization for aperiodic one.
