Claim Text:
1. A transcranial interface configured to be implanted in an aperture in a skull of a patient, comprising: a channel having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer wall defining an interior cavity, and a proximal end structure comprising at least one extension extending in the interior cavity toward the distal end of the channel, wherein the proximal end structure is coupled to the outer wall in a manner that provides for displacement of the proximal end structure relative to the outer wall; and a valve mechanism configured to be at least partially displaced by the proximal end structure in a direction between the proximal end and the distal end of the channel to thereby selectively move between an opened arrangement to thereby open the channel and a closed arrangement to thereby close the channel, wherein the valve mechanism is positioned entirely within the interior cavity, between the proximal end and the distal end, when in the opened arrangement and when in the closed arrangement.
