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

Objective: The multi-subject brain-computer interface (mBCI) is becoming a key tool for the analysis of group behaviors. It is necessary to adopt a neural recording system for collaborative brain signal acquisition, which is usually in the form of a fixed wire. Approach: In this study, we designed a wireless group-synchronized neural recording system that supports real-time mBCI and event-related potential (ERP) analysis. This system uses a wireless synchronizer to broadcast events to multiple wearable EEG amplifiers. The simultaneously received broadcast signals are marked in data packets to achieve real-time event correlation analysis of multiple targets in a group. Main results: To evaluate the performance of the proposed real-time group-synchronized neural recording system, we conducted collaborative signal sampling on 10 wireless mBCI devices. The average signal correlation reached 99.8%, the amplitude of average noise was 0.87 μV, and the average common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) reached 109.02 dB. The minimum synchronization error is 237 μs. We also tested the system in real-time processing of the steady-state visual-evoked potential (SSVEP) ranging from 8 to 15.8 Hz. Under 40 target stimulators, with 2 s data length, the average information transfer rate (ITR) reached 150 ± 20 bits/min, and the highest reached 260 bits/min, which was comparable to the marketing leading EEG system (the average: 150 ± 15 bits/min; the highest: 280 bits/min). The accuracy of target recognition in 2 s was 98%, similar to that of the Synamps2 (99%), but a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 5.08 dB was achieved. We designed a group EEG cognitive experiment; to verify, this system can be used in noisy settings. Significance: The evaluation results revealed that the proposed real-time group-synchronized neural recording system is a high-performance tool for real-time mBCI research. It is an enabler for a wide range of future applications in collaborative intelligence, cognitive neurology, and rehabilitation.
