The blue stems in Figure 6A show whether the decoder was successful or not in the corresponding trial.
As the spike raster plots suggest, the decoded paths also began where the rats paused and moved forward toward a goal in the corresponding trial type.
For this analysis, we excluded patients who were randomized but not included in the corresponding trial (32 patients) and those who had incomplete height or weight data (9 women).
A correlation between articulatory quality in each condition and the corresponding trial number suggested learning effects in three patients [Patients JD, FF and AS; r 34) = 0.67, 0.57, 0.33; P < 0.001, <0.001 and 0.049, respectively].
The DPIs obtained after correcting different amounts of defocus (−0.50 D, −0.25 D, + 0.25 D, + 0.50 D) induced by placing the corresponding trial lenses in front of the model eye were recorded.
Mean PD over the first 12 CCWFF trials was significantly greater than the corresponding trials in the preceding CWFF (F 1,78) = 12.1, p<.05) and the final twelve trials in the same CWFF (F 1,78) = 69.9, p<.001).
The drugs were displayed in the same sequence for corresponding trials between the different formats (i.e. the sequence of drugs was the same for Trial 4 as it was for Trial 1).
The bonus was adjusted to make fair net earnings, i.e., $2, in the corresponding successful trial.
This pattern was also reflected in corresponding hit rates with Remove trials producing the highest hit rates ([p(c)] = 0.76, SE = 0.01), followed by No-change trials ([p(c)] = 0.68, SE = 0.02) and Add trials ([p(c)] = 0.67, SE = 0.02).
Similar discrepancies have been identified for drug trials by comparing trial data reported in FDA New Drug Applications with the data in corresponding publications.
