Key takeaway: The Hybrid TCN–SNN achieves the highest accuracy (87.8%), edging out TCN (≈85%) and SpikingTCN (≈76.6%).
Insight: SNN is lowest energy but accuracy-limited; TCN/LSTM are accurate but costlier; SpikingTCN achieves a balanced trade-off between accuracy and efficiency in neuroprosthetic settings; Hybrid sits near the accuracy frontier at low energy.
