Static and dynamic input multiplexing for high-density neural signal recording
Summary
This patent describes techniques for multiplexing high-density neural signal recordings from large electrode arrays. The system uses both static and dynamic input multiplexing to efficiently route neural signals from multiple electrodes through limited processing channels, enabling scalable brain-computer interfaces with thousands of recording sites.
Why it matters
High-density multiplexing is critical for Neuralink's goal of recording from thousands of neurons simultaneously. This technology reduces the hardware complexity and power consumption of large-scale neural interfaces, making commercial brain-computer interfaces more feasible for widespread clinical and research applications.
