ABSTRACT:
Method and system for enhancing the function of sensory cells are disclosed. The method comprises locating a sensory cell area associated with the sensory cell whose function is to be enhanced and inputting a bias signal to the sensory cell area. The apparatus comprises a signal processor for producing a bias signal and an input device for inputting the bias signal to a sensory cell area associated with a sensory cell whose function is to be enhanced. Inputting the bias signal to a sensory cell area effectively lowers the threshold of sensory cells with which the sensory cell area is associated.
