Neuralink processes 200 megabits on-device with compression

The N1 implant has 1,024 electrodes sampling at just under 20 kHz with 10 bits each, producing 200 megabits of data; because the brain is thermally constrained, on-device signal processing detects spikes using a convolutional template-matching filter (BOSS algorithm) in under a microsecond of processing time, compressing the data to binary spike/no-spike events before wireless transmission.

Evidence Quote

there has to be some amount of compression that happens to send off only the interesting data that you need, which in this particular case for motor decoding is, occurrence of a spike or not.
