Neuromimetic stimulating apparatus and method

A stimulating method comprising:

• detecting a feedback signal from a target to be stimulated;
• analyzing a waveform of the detected feedback signal by determining features of the detected feedback signal based on a signal level, a duration, a number of peaks, and a number of clusters of the detected feedback signal;
• determining a parameter using information associated with reference data of feedback signals, neural responses, and stimulus signals based on the analyzed waveform of the detected feedback signal, including identifying, by referring to a pre-constructed data set, a neural response corresponding to the detected feedback signal, the pre-constructed data set storing the information associated with the reference data of the feedback signals, the neural responses, and the stimulus signals;
• and
• generating a non-square analog wave stimulus signal corresponding to the detected feedback signal based on the determined parameter, wherein a waveform according to features of the stimulus signal is determined by the determined parameter, and wherein the non-square analog wave stimulus signal includes an irregular analog wave of a first frequency band and an irregular non-square pulse of a second pulse of a second frequency band.
