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

backgroundFor the nonstationarity of neural recordings in intracortical brain-machine interfaces, daily retraining in a supervised manner is always required to maintain the performance of the decoder. This problem can be improved by using a reinforcement learning (RL) based self-recalibrating decoder. However, quickly exploring new knowledge while maintaining a good performance remains a challenge in RL-based decoders.

methodsTo solve this problem, we proposed an attention-gated RL-based algorithm combining transfer learning, mini-batch, and weight updating schemes to accelerate the weight updating and avoid over-fitting. The proposed algorithm was tested on intracortical neural data recorded from two monkeys to decode their reaching positions and grasping gestures.

resultsThe decoding results showed that our proposed algorithm achieved an approximate 20% increase in classification accuracy compared to that obtained by the non-retrained classifier and even achieved better classification accuracy than the daily retraining classifier. Moreover, compared with a conventional RL method, our algorithm improved the accuracy by approximately 10% and the online weight updating speed by approximately 70 times.

conclusionsThis paper proposed a self-recalibrating decoder which achieved a good and robust decoding performance with fast weight updating and might facilitate its application in wearable device and clinical practice.
