Neuralink should skip the compression, and replace the radio link with optics. A tiny embedded LED can transmit data optically at the required speed, without compression, and a second transceiver outside the body, with access to more room, power and electronics, can transmit the large data stream wirelessly, if required.

The real question is why such a high data rate with the final outcome is typing speed or game cursor control, i.e. very low data rate? Neuralink should reframe the challenge to find a lossy compression scheme that doesn't alter the outcome. Who cares about lossless if the result is the same? Neuralink should provide a portal to dump imperfectly recoded data, and report the fidelity to the original outcome -- in detail if possible. That way coders can seek the most compressive lossy scheme that does not affect outcome.

It would also be nice if Neuralink released a complete set of data, i.e. 1024 channels, 20KHz sampling rate, 10 bits per sample, for an hour. That would be the starting place in order to find redundancy patterns, perhaps between channels.

I'd also like to say that the data currently provided is inconsistently scaled, and that the A/D data indicates poor linearity of the A/D itself. The A/D needs attention.
