System profiling. Sunburst diagrams representing the proportions of time spent to process incoming data (left) and send the decoded output to the glove (right). The center of each sunburst diagram represents the process to obtain the decoded neural signal (left), or to send the command to the glove (right). Each arc surrounding the center point represents a subprocess needed to be carried out to process incoming data (left) or send data (right). The length of the arc represents the proportion of time taken for a subprocess to complete relative to subprocesses that depend on it for completion. While there are many subprocesses, those relevant to the BCI software are highlighted. The remaining subprocesses are system sepectific processes such as input–output operations
