1. A system for effectively lowering the threshold of a nervous system sensory cell, comprising:
- a signal processor for producing at least one bias signal;
input means for inputting said at least one bias signal to a sensory cell area associated with the sensory cell, wherein said signal process or produces the at least one bias signal causes the threshold of sensory cells to an externally applied signal in the sensory cell area to be exceeded thereby effectively lowering the threshold of said sensory cells; and
a controller for controlling the signal processor and input means.

Abstract
A method and system for enhancing the function of sensory cells. The method includes 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 system includes 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.
