Correlation functions with multiple scaling regions occur in the description of the fluctuations in the center of pressure during quiet standing. Postural sway is modeled as an inverted pendulum with a delayed feedback constructed such that for deviations beyond a spatial threshold a constant restoring force is engaged. In the absence of noise, two stable limit cycles coexist. The correlation function depends on the added noise intensity: at intermediate noise levels three scaling regions appear whereas only two occur for high noise levels. Our observations suggest that correlation functions with multiple scaling regions reflect noise-induced transitions in bistable dynamical systems.
