In the last few years, a great wealth of information on the physical conditions in Galactic Black Hole Candidates has come from the study of their variability. The rapid X-ray flux oscillations, the phase lags between photons in different X-ray bands and the bewildering diversity of the large amplitude spectral variability exhibited by some of these systems allow us to probe the structure and evolution of the accretion flow in the innermost regions. We review the main mechanisms proposed to account for the observed temporal behaviour and describe the attempts to use them to perform measurements of fundamental physical interest in these systems.
