Abstract: Systems and methods for high-bandwidth, minimally invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are disclosed. The BCIs are configured for deployment and operation in conjunction with a comprehensive interventional electrophysiology procedural suite. Three primary methods of minimally invasive electrode array delivery are disclosed: (1) cortical surface delivery, (2) ventricular delivery, and (3) endovascular delivery. Additionally, systems and methods for interacting with such high-bandwidth electrode arrays are discussed, including real-time imaging, signal processing, and neural decoding. Systems and methods for architectures for accelerating the underlying computational processes (such as graphics processing units or tensor processing units) are also discussed. Multiple applications of BCIs are discussed, with emphasis on restoration, rehabilitation, and augmentation of neurologic function.

Abstract: A kit is provided for delivering local radiation to a tumor while also causing tumor devascularization. The kit includes a first liquid radioembolic agent for treatment of at least a first region of the tumor and a second liquid radioembolic agent for treatment of at least a second region of the tumor. The first liquid radioembolic agent includes: a biocompatible polymer or prepolymer and a first radioisotope having a first type of ionizing radiation for treatment of the first region of the tumor. The second liquid radioembolic agent includes: a biocompatible polymer or prepolymer and a second radioisotope having a second type of ionizing radiation for treatment of the second region of the tumor. The second type of ionizing radiation is different than the first type of ionizing radiation.

Abstract: A glucose fuel cell for reception into a given constrained volume of implantation in a vertebrate in which the glucose fuel cell has access to fluid containing glucose. The fuel cell includes an anode adapted to oxidize the glucose, a cathode adapted to reduce an oxidant, and a membrane disposed between the anode and the cathode and separating the anode from the cathode. At least one of the anode or cathode define a flexible sheet that is geometrically deformed to be receivable into the given constrained volume of implantation and increase volumetric power density. Related methods of making a glucose fuel cell of this type and implantable assemblies including the glucose fuel cell are also disclosed.
