So the 3824 is likely my best bet. Noted.
I donāt recommend stuffing things in your muscles, just to be clear. The lodestones are not smooth and the 38 has a ridge which could be an issue in a moving environment.
What Iām saying is this would be very experimental and I canāt guarantee anything.
But Iāll be watching closely 
Also how the hell do you get it out if thereās an issue? Thatās not a simple scalpel cut 
But amongst the options, yes
As an undercoat itās fineā¦ better than nickelā¦ but it wonāt work as a last resortā¦ itās garbage for that. The only purpose it would serve would be to keep the neodymium core from corroding between manufacturing the magnet and applying whatever the final coating would be. Neodymium cores start to oxidize in air so magnetic cores without any coating at all are shipped in a special oil to keep them from starting this process, but thatās a messy annoying process to have to work with, so an anti-oxidation coating is appliedā¦ typically a nickel amalgam (the typical āsilverā colored magnet).

As far as Iām concerned this falls 100% on me!
Do you think a polished 4825 would be better?
This is my primary concern, above all else.
Dually noted.
Another option I have is contacting the project contact for the paper above to see if they have any extra theyād be willing to sell. Very doubtful, but who knows? Maybe they want a human participant!
Hopeful thinking all around, but may be worth a shot if only for magnet acquisition.
I think size matters more but Iām just guessing. I assume some tissue will encapsulate it to prevent friction over time.

You can try but it wonāt happen, you can lose your entire career over something like this. Academics have their hands tied by reputation and uptight ethics
