Well, those are the labs that don’t have a blindingly obvious route to speedups just by speeding up the researchers, though de facto I’d expect it to work anyway up to a point.
When I wrote my thesis, a major limiting factor was the speed of the computers doing the analysis; I would start the latest variant of my program in the afternoon, and come back next morning to see what it reported. I’m currently working on software to take advantage of massively-parallel processors to speed up this process by a couple of orders of magnitude.
The difficulty of brain-computer interfaces is that the brain does not appear to work with any known executable format, making running anything on it something of a hit-and-miss affair.
Of course, he could solve this by simply increasing the precision of his computer calculations until it’s the right speed for his brain...

Next time, try shifting processing resources from your brain to the analytic computers until neither is waiting on the other!
Ahem
But then his brain will be too slow.
