Analyzing the data it becomes clear that the A/D used by Neuralink is defective, i.e. very poor accuracy. The A/D introduces a huge amount of distortion, which in practice manifests as noise.

Until this A/D linearity problem is fixed, there is no point pursuing compression schemes. The data is so badly mangled it makes it pretty near impossible to find patterns.

It's actually amazing that Neuralink can use this badly distorted data. I imagine that fixing the A/D would improve their results dramatically -- lower latency and higher precision. Why Neuralink has continued work with such an obvious hardware defect is a serious question. Do they actually analyze the A/D to make sure its working properly?
