Intracranial neural interface system

An implantable neural interface system, comprising:

• a base insertable into a cranium and defining a groove from a bottom portion of the base to a top portion of the base;
• a neural interface device coupled to the base, wherein the neural interface device includes an electrode array;
• an electronic component coupled to the neural interface device;
• and
• a flexible interconnect cable that connects the electronic component to the electrode array, wherein at least a portion of the flexible interconnect cable resides in the groove.

• a base insertable into a cranium;
• a neural interface device coupled to the base, wherein the neural interface device includes an electrode array;
• an electronic component coupled to the neural interface device;
• and
• a plug that couples to the base and defines a recess that houses at least a portion of the electronic component.
