Accuracy vs Estimated Energy Hybrid TCN LSTM SpikingTCN SNN-only
Estimated energy → 0 20 40 60 80 100 SNN (61.7) SpikingTCN (76.6) Hybrid (87.8) TCN (85.0) LSTM (71.23) Best balanced-model Best for Neuroprosthetic Systems

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.
