TL;DR: An implantable fuel cell that generates power through glucose oxidation, producing steady-state power and up to peak power is developed, demonstrating computationally that the natural recirculation of cerebrospinal fluid around the human brain theoretically permits glucose energy harvesting at a rate on the order of at least 1 mW with no adverse physiologic effects.

TL;DR: The analytic approach presented here is used to estimate the distance at which runners will exhaust their glycogen stores as a function of running intensity, and provides a basis for guidelines ensuring the safety and optimizing the performance of endurance runners, both by setting personally appropriate paces and by prescribing midrace fueling requirements for avoiding ‘the wall.’

TL;DR: This paper presents work on ultra-low-power circuits for brain–machine interfaces with applications for paralysis prosthetics, stroke, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, prosthetics for the blind, and experimental neuroscience systems.

TL;DR: This work characterized the algorithm's phase-locking performance on physiologic theta oscillations: optimizing algorithm parameters on the first patient using a genetic algorithm, and carried out cross-validation procedures on subsequent trials and electrodes within the same patient, as well as on data recorded from the second patient.

TL;DR: This paper presents work on ultra-low-power circuits for brain-machine interfaces with applications for paralysis prosthetics, prosthetics for the blind, and experimental neuroscience systems, including circuits for wireless stimulation of neurons.
