Creation of an interactive communication technology by a light for an artificial vision

为了可视化、诱发和抑制神经活动，设计并开发了一种具有光学传感阵列和发光元件的微型可植入CMOS（互补金属氧化物半导体）装置。为了将该设备与培养的神经元和自由移动动物的视觉皮层一起使用，构建了一个能够真正分析神经细胞功能的系统。

To visualize, evoked and suppress a neural activity, a tiny implantable CMOS(complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) device with an optical sensing array and the luminous elements was designed and developed. To use the device with the cultured neurons and the visual cortex of a freely-moving animal, a system was constructed and able to really analyze the function of neural cells.
