Neuralink have released a challenge to compress raw electrode recordings collected from the Neuralink N1 chip implanted in the motor cortex of a 'non-human primate'.
Neuralink have set the ambitious challenge of over 200x lossless compression to fit within a 1 Mbps wireless transmission limit.
Participants must develop ./encode and ./decode executables that perform lossless compression with less than 1ms latency and under 10mW power consumption, and submit these with source code and build scripts for evaluation.
The best solutions will be ranked by compression ratio, latency, and power efficiency.
This question will resolve 'Yes' if a compression solution achieves the desired criterion by 31st December 2024. Otherwise, the question will resolve 'No'.

3.00A streaming lossless compressor consuming 1 mW. A major issue that is under-appreciated is that the responses are exactly that: responses to a stimuli; without knowing the stimuli it’s hard to obtain the input-output relationship that would allow for significant compression. They should drop the lossless requirement and also include video data of what is being viewed by the subject.
@RobertoGomez If specs are loosened, then solved, it will still resolve 'Yes', as the challenge was completed
