ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my adviser, Professor Mani Srivastava. Thank you for guiding me as I explored this problem space. I also would like to thank fellow NESL PhD student and mentor David Jea for his insightful input and feedback as I progressed through my research. The experiment for the thesis is a joint work with Dave. I also appreciate the earnest a...

Sleep: Sleep the Beloved Teacher?

Recent studies of humans and rats show that neuronal firing patterns initiated by prior sensory stimulation, and even learning, can occur during sleep. But what they tell us about the functions of sleep remains unclear.

Reliable Transfer of Ownership for Estranged Devices

Body sensor networks (BSN) sometimes involve a dynamic and flexible membership of its sensors especially when monitoring of massive users in a disaster scenario. The problem of estranged devices requires a transfer of ownership from one BSN to a different BSN. Based on the models, a BSN has to adapt different mechanisms to address possible threats caused by estranged devices. The objective of o...
