Abstract :
The complexity of nodes in wireless sensor networks is an important variable that determines their size, cost, and functionality. When these factors are drastically minimized, new applications become possible in which nodes are not only truly ubiquitous in the environment, but also available in huge numbers. This article discusses concepts from neuroscience that will be useful in the miniaturization of nodes as well as in the optimization of the sensing and communication strategies employed.
