Abstract
Electrical stimulation to the nervous system is important in visual prostheses. In this study, we stimulated the central nervous system of an experimental animal in various ways, and the neural response has been evaluated from both biological and computational points of view. Experimental results have revealed that the anode/cathode distance seems to play an important role to reduce the energy consumption
