Abstract
A neural sensing method includes the steps of: configuring an array of sensing units on a retina of a user, each of the sensing units detecting a signal and generating a sensed signal; generating a control signal by a control signal generator and transmitting the control signal to at least one electrode installed in a periphery of each of the sensing units; isolating each of the sensed signals by the control signal, thereby suppressing the mutual interference between the sensed signals by the control signal; and generating and outputting a processed signal to at least one neuron via a signal processing module with reference to the control signal and the sensed signals. The control signal has a signal strength lower than the sensing threshold of the at least one neuron.
