Perturbative transport experiments have been performed at the stellarator TJ-II. Both the inward propagation of edge cooling pulses induced by the injection of nitrogen, and the outward propagation of heat pulses due to spontaneous spikes of the central temperature have been analysed. It has been found that the observed propagation is incompatible with diffusive transport models. Simultaneous inward and outward propagation eliminates an explanation in terms of a pinch. A numerical simulation with a resistive interchange turbulence model suggests that the observed propagation is related to the successive destabilizations of pressure gradient driven modes associated with rational surfaces.
