Figure 7

Comparison between participants’ behaviour in washout trials (between perturbation cycles) with the fitted equilibrium distribution (recorded before participants experienced any perturbation). The first and third rows compare the normalized histogram of the angles observed during the initial 100 trials (blue color), with the histogram of the fitted equilibrium distribution (2) over the same trials (green color). The second and the forth rows compare the same fitted equilibrium distribution (green color) with the normalized histogram of the angles observed in the 0 deviation plateaus (washout trials) which separate forward and backward protocol (red color). Note the plateau in each cycle consists of 10 points, from which we only include the last 8 to avoid large aftereffects. The application of Crooks’ theorem requires that subjects fully equilibrate between protocols, that is, in our case their behavior in washout trials should return to the fitted equilibrium behavior at the start of the experiment. Compare the discussion on condition (ii) on page 11.
