Histograms of the distribution of radial deformations P (Δ R ) for an active GUV ( b ), compared with a passive one ( c ), normalized by the mean radius R 0 . The contours are sampled for different times ( τ avg = 2 s, 5 s and 10 s) from the videos of GUVs. Active deformations have peculiar distributions at short timescales, indicating correlated dynamics.
