Abstract
As neuroprosthetic control systems continue to advance and increase in channel density, there will be a constant need to deliver data at higher bandwidths in and out of the body. Currently, RF telemetry and inductive coupling are the most commonly used methods for transmitting power and electronic data between implants and external systems, and state of the art systems can deliver data rates up to hundreds of kilobits per second. However, it is difficult to operate implanted medical RF links at higher data rates due to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) constraints. In this study, we investigate the potential for hybrid telemetry systems that use constant-frequency RF inductive links for power and transcutaneous infrared (IR) signals for data. We show that with commercially available infrared communication components, data rates of up to 40 Mbits per second can be transmitted out across 5 mm of skin with an internal device power dissipation under 100 mW.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
