The present technology relates to a sensor and a control method that achieve flexible acquisition of event data.
A pixel block of the sensor includes one or more pixels each configured to receive light and perform photoelectric conversion to generate an electrical signal and an event detecting section configured to detect an event that is a change in electrical signal of each of the pixels. The sensor switches connections between a plurality of the pixel blocks. The present technology is applicable to a sensor configured to detect events that are changes in electrical signal of pixels, for example.
