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

This paper focuses on possible time-domain neurocomputational mechanisms for short-term anticipatory processes. Here we present a simple, signal processing functional model of how short-term rhythmic pattern expectancies could be computed on the fly using recurrent neural timing nets (RTNs). The model is inspired by Gestaltist grouping principles for repeating temporal patterns of events (beats, pulses, grooves, metrical and non-metrical patterns). Building on previous autocorrelation models of pitch, meter, and rhythm, the RTN rhythm perception model consists of temporal codes, temporal pattern memory traces circulating in delay loops, and neural delay-and-coincidence networks with dynamically-adapting spike-correlation-dependent synapses. The network tracks in parallel all event periodicities in rhythmic hierarchies. As in memory trace theories of mismatch negativity (MMN-like) neural responses, it generates simple and complex pattern expectancies and registers deviations from them. Similarities and differences of this correlation-based model with those based on oscillators and predictive coding are discussed.
