1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Decision-making is a crucial cognitive function for various animal species surviving in nature, and it is also a fundamental ability for intelligent agents. To make a step forward in the understanding of the computational mechanism of human-like decision-making, this paper proposes a brain-inspired decision-making spiking neural network (BDM-SNN) and applies it to decision-making tasks on intelligent agents. This paper makes the following contributions: (1) A spiking neural network (SNN) is used to model human decision-making neural circuit from both connectome and functional perspectives. (2) The proposed model combines dopamine and spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) mechanisms to modulate the network learning process, which indicates more biological inspiration. (3) The model considers the effects of interactions among sub-areas in PFC on accelerating the learning process. (4) The proposed model can be easily applied to decision-making tasks in intelligent agents, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flying through a window and a UAV avoiding an obstacle. The experimental results support the effectiveness of the model. Compared with traditional reinforcement learning and existing biologically inspired methods, our method contains more biologically-inspired mechanistic principles, has greater accuracy and is faster.
