A stereoscopic conductive fabric includes a basement yarn layer, a conductive yarn, and a support yarn. The basement yarn layer includes plural warp yarns arranged coursewise and parallel to each other and plural course yarns arranged warpwise and parallel to each other. The course yarns are interwoven with the warp yarns to form the basement yarn layer. The conductive yarn is arranged coursewise and interwoven with the course yarns in a skip manner to form plural conductive structures protruding from a surface of the basement yarn layer. The support yarn is arranged coursewise and interwoven with the course yarns in a skip manner to form plural pressing structures protruding from another surface of the basement yarn layer. A module for detecting electrical signals from body skin applying the stereoscopic conductive fabric is also disclosed.

Module for detecting electrical signals from body skin

A conductive textile is provided, including warp and weft, and the warp and the weft are interwoven. The warp includes a signal-transmitting unit, an electrical connecting unit, and at least a first warp conductive fiber. The signal-transmitting unit consists of a first signal-transmitting cable and a second signal-transmitting cable, which are intertwined. Each of the first signal-transmitting cable and the second signal-transmitting cable includes a central conductive fiber and an outer insulating layer. The electrical connecting unit consists of a first power cable and a second power cable. The first warp conductive fiber is disposed between the signal-transmitting unit and the electrical connecting unit. The weft includes a weft conductive fiber.
