A system is disclosed including: one or more electroencephalography (EEG) sensor nodes in a fully reconfigurable sensor network configured to detect electrical signals indicating activity of a brain of a subject and to transmit signal information relating to the detected electrical signals, each EEG sensor node embodying an analog front end (AFE) circuit, and a centralized command control node (CCN) in the sensor network in communication with the one or more EEG sensor nodes and configured to receive the transmitted signal information from the one or more EEG sensor nodes and to perform a processing technique on the received information resulting in processed signal data, wherein the one or more EEG sensor nodes are configured to detect the electrical signals without a driven right leg (DRL) circuit in the sensor network.
