MENP research lineage - Bryant McGill

# MENP research lineage **Entity class:** Technology, concept, place, event, or ecosystem entity **Collections:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] ## Definition **MENP research lineage** is represented in the supplied consciousness-mapping and transfer relationship graph through the source-qualified relationships below. The entry preserves direction, predicate, evidence key, quantitative context, and epistemic status without treating analogy, adjacency, shared physics, or technical convergence as proof of ownership, funding, program lineage, technology transfer, operational integration, or institutional control.  ## Relationships ### Consciousness mapping and transfer graph patch — 2026-09-10 **Collections:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] **Related source articles:** [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] · [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]] · [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]] · [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] #### Outgoing typed edges - **Edge 67 — `funded_under` → [[wiki/DARPA Contract N66001-19-C-4019|DARPA contract N66001-19-C-4019]]** — **PRIOR_NEUROTECH_VERIFIED**; evidence `MENP_2026`, `DOD_4019`. Contract appears in N3-era nonsurgical BCI work; DoD notice identifies Battelle as prime on same contract number. - **Edge 70 — `includes` → [[wiki/intranasal administration study (2021)|intranasal administration study (2021)]]** — **PRIOR_NEUROTECH_VERIFIED**; evidence `MENP_INTRNASAL`. 30-nm MENs reported to cross BBB; magnetic relocation demonstrated in mouse model. - **Edge 75 — `includes` → [[wiki/in-vivo wireless brain stimulation study (2021)|in-vivo wireless brain stimulation study (2021)]]** — **PRIOR_NEUROTECH_VERIFIED**; evidence `MENP_INVIVO`. Magnetic targeting plus low-intensity field; calcium/c-Fos readouts. - **Edge 79 — `includes` → 2024 Brain Stimulation action-potential control study** — **PRIOR_NEUROTECH_VERIFIED**; evidence `MENP_2024`. Excitation and exploratory inhibition via MENPs in rat hippocampal neurons. - **Edge 80 — `includes` → 2026 Advanced Science wireless BCI framework** — **PRIOR_NEUROTECH_VERIFIED**; evidence `MENP_2026`. Bidirectional MENP framework; recording remains more theoretical than stimulation. #### Epistemic boundary Primary-source, peer-reviewed, company-claim, preprint, analytic, inherited-corpus, dynamic-metric, source-version-conflict, and unresolved states remain distinct. A current primary source supersedes a stale uncertainty label without erasing the correction history. No edge establishes ownership, funding, licensing, program lineage, technology transfer, operational integration, or institutional control unless its predicate and evidence explicitly do so.
