Electrode system for electrical stimulation

A system for electrically stimulating a user, the system comprising:

• an array of permeable bodies that facilitates electrical coupling between the system and a body region of the user during use,
• wherein each of the array of permeable bodies has a cavity at a proximal portion and a tapered distal portion, is configured to transmit an electrolyte solution, through hair of the user, to the body region of the user during use and is composed of an olefin polymer that elastically deforms upon interfacing with the body region of the user;
• a substrate region defining an array of protrusions corresponding to and configured to reside within cavities of the array of permeable bodies, the substrate region composed of a conductive material;
• a set of conductors in communication with the substrate region, the set of conductors configured to couple to an electronics subsystem for transmission of current through the set of conductors and the array of permeable bodies for electrically stimulating the user during use of the system;
• and
• a housing portion defining an array of openings at a broad surface, wherein distal portions of the array of permeable bodies are exposed through the array of openings of the housing portion.
