Real-Time Data Processing

What is Real-Time Data Processing?

Real-time data processing refers to the continuous, low-latency analysis of incoming sensor and system data to extract actionable insights without delay. In the context of human-machine systems, this involves the real-time interpretation of multimodal biosignals (e.g. EEG, EDA, eye movements, motion, voice) in order to assess cognitive states, trigger adaptive system responses, or support time-sensitive decision-making.

Real-time capability is essential in safety-critical domains such as defense operations, remote control, or aviation, where milliseconds can define mission outcomes. It enables closed-loop architectures, enhances human-system synchrony, and supports adaptive interfaces that respond to fluctuating operator conditions in the moment they occur.

Our Expertise

HML develops high-performance, validated real-time data pipelines for operationally relevant environments. Our expertise encompasses the full stack of sensor-to-decision chain engineering in research and applied defense contexts.

Key competencies include:

  • Real-time signal acquisition and synchronization, including EEG, ECG, respiration, motion, and eye-tracking data across multiple systems

  • Artifact correction and quality-assured segmentation, optimized for mobile, simulation, and high-interference environments

  • High-resolution feature extraction pipelines, generating more than 5,000 features per channel using brute-force and hybrid methods

  • Multimodal sensor fusion and integrated signal modeling, combining neuro-, psycho-, and behavioral signals for robust inference

  • Deployment of machine learning architectures for adaptive state detection, leveraging transfer learning, online learning, and explainable AI

  • Validation frameworks for time-critical system behavior, covering latency analysis, signal dropout management, and fail-safety measures

Our approach is scientifically grounded, modular, and operationally robust - capable of handling the cognitive complexity and data volatility present in real-world mission settings.
