“…To ease the challenge, high-fidelity on-chip and on-device neural signal compression schemes (Chae et al, 2008;Gagnon-Turcotte et al, 2016;Wu et al, 2017Wu et al, , 2018Xu et al, 2018) become essential to relax the bandwidth and energy constraints by reducing the amount of data to be wirelessly transmitted at the system level. For the scope of neural signal compression, several promising approaches have been proposed in the past decades, such as on-chip spike detection and sorting (Lewicki, 1998;Gibson et al, 2011), sparse coding (Kamboh et al, 2007;Gagnon-Turcotte et al, 2016), feature extraction (Wu et al, 2017), and adaptive quantization (Martinez et al, 2018). Moreover, the onchip hardware overhead for data compression and excessive power consumption cannot be neglected.…”
