arXiv:2604.21247v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Implantable Brain-Computer Interfaces (iBCIs) are increasingly pivotal in clinical and daily applications. However, wireless iBCIs face severe constraints in power consumption and data throughput. To mitigate these bottlenecks, we propose a wireless iBCI headstage featuring adaptive ADC sampling and spike detection. Distinguishing our design from traditional application-layer compression, we employ a server-driven architecture that achieves source-level efficiency. Specifically, the server learns an optimal, electrode-specific sample rate vector to dynamically reconfigure the ADC hardware. This strategy reduces data volume directly at the acquisition layer (ADC and amplifier) rather than relying on computationally intensive post-digitization processing. Extensive experiments across diverse subjects and arrays demonstrate a power reduction of up to 40 mW and a 3.2x decrease in FPGA resource utilization, all while maintaining or exceeding decoding accuracy in both motor and visual tasks. This design offers a highly practical solution for long-term in-vivo recording.
