Hierarchical networks of pulse-coupled chemical micro-oscillators (MOs) are considered. The Belousov—Zhabotinsky oscillatory reaction in a microvolume serves as a single MO. Biological principles of neural networks and the laws of nonlinear dynamics are used to operate the considered networks, which we call a 'chemical brain.' It has been shown that this 'chemical brain' is capable of adaptive behavior and decision-making.
