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

The ability to finely manipulate spatiotemporal patterns displayed in neuronal populations is critical for understanding and influencing brain functions, sleep cycles, and neurological pathologies. However, such control tasks are challenged not only by the immense scale but also by the lack of real-time state measurements of neurons in the population, which deteriorates the control performance. In this paper, we formulate the control of dynamic structures in an ensemble of neuron oscillators as a tracking problem and propose a principled control technique for designing optimal stimuli that produce desired spatiotemporal patterns in a network of interacting neurons without requiring feedback information. We further reveal an interesting presentation of information encoding and processing in a neuron ensemble in terms of its controllability property. The performance of the presented technique in creating complex spatiotemporal spiking patterns is demonstrated on neural populations described by mathematically ideal and biophysical models, including the Kuramoto and Hodgkin-Huxley models, as well as real-time experiments on Wein bridge oscillators.
