Omnidirectional deployable multichannel neural electrode system

A neural intervention system, comprising:

• a guide tube extending along a longitudinal axis, wherein a tube lumen extends through a portion of the guide tube;
• a plurality of deployment channels disposed in a distal portion of the guide tube, each deployment channel extending from a proximal channel open end to a distal channel open end,
• wherein the distal channel open end has a trajectory that is off-axis with respect to the longitudinal axis,
• wherein the proximal channel open end of a first deployment channel of the plurality of deployment channels resides at a first location along an imaginary plane aligned substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
• and
• wherein the proximal channel open end of a second deployment channel of the plurality of deployment channels resides at a second location along the imaginary plane that is radially closer to the longitudinal axis;
• a plurality of neural probes extending from a plunger, each of the neural probes having at least one electrode configured for electrical stimulation of body tissue or recording of biological characteristics, wherein a first subset of the plurality of neural probes is coupled to a first manifold and a second subset of the plurality of neural probes is coupled to a second manifold;
• and
• an actuation mechanism having a length extending from a proximal actuation end to the plunger, the actuation mechanism being is movable to cause a first neural probe of the plurality of neural probes to move through a corresponding deployment channel to insert the first neural probe into body tissue.
