Neural Interface System Architecture
Neural interface architectures enable direct communication between the brain and external devices. These systems must process thousands of neural signals in real-time, maintain extremely low latency for responsive control, and ensure the highest reliability for medical applications. The architecture spans from neural signal acquisition to intent decoding and device control.
Ultra-Low Latency
End-to-end latency < 20ms for natural interaction and control
