N2 - Studies of neural function that are carried out in different laboratories and that address different questions use a wide range of descriptors for data storage, depending on the laboratory and the individuals that input the data. A common approach to describe non-textual data that are referenced through a relational database is to use metadata descriptors. We have recently designed such a prototype system, but to maintain efficiency and a manageable metadata table, free formatted fields were designed as table entries. The Database Interface Application utilizes an intelligent agent to improve integrity of operation. The purpose of this study was to investigate how reinforcement learning algorithms can assist the user in interacting with the Database Interface Application that has been developed to improve the performance of the system.
