ZPE-Neuro

What This Is

ZPE-Neuro is the extracellular recording lane of the Zer0pa 17-lane encoding portfolio — a bounded spike-event extraction codec for electrophysiology signals. It is independent of other portfolio lanes and speaks only for its own domain.

The strongest CI-anchored result to date: deterministic encode-decode round-trip on DANDI 000034 with a 401x event ratio, 78.44 µV RMSE, and Gate C + Gate D both PASS on blind-clone replay from the current origin/main snapshot. No comparison baseline exists for this lane; the numbers stand on their own terms.

This front door promotes only claims backed by a tracked proof artifact and exercised in CI. Treat CURRENT_AUTHORITY_PACKET.md as the April 24 routing layer; the full proof archive goes deeper.

Current Verified Surface

Current Metrics

DANDI 000034 Tier-1 Authority Anchor

These are window-scoped metrics (6000-sample, 8-channel window at 30 kHz). They are not whole-recording compression results.

IBL Second-Target (Tier-2 Breadth, Counted PASS)

Gate D: Embedded Latency and Drift Resilience

Embedded latency uses a hardware-proxy cycle model at 80 MHz ARM-class clock plus Python reference timing. It is not a measured on-silicon result.

Determinism

What We Don't Claim

• No claim of lossless signal reconstruction.
• No claim that the window-scoped event-encoding ratios are whole-recording compression results.
• No claim that DANDI 000003 closed new breadth.
• No claim of commercialization-safe closure or tagged public release.
• No claim beyond the bounded extracellular lane.

Repo Shape

• src/zpe_neuro/: installable extractor package.
• tests/: repo-local verification slice.
• tools/: gate runners and operator scripts.
• proofs/: current authority packet plus April 24 replay and breadth packets.
• docs/: architecture, legal boundaries, release status, and dataset-scope notes.
