Implantable Neurophysiology Devices

An implantable device with configurable electrodes comprising:

• a carrier with a first side and a second side, wherein the first side and the second side are on different surfaces;
• a first electrode and a second electrode located on the first side;
• a third electrode and a fourth electrode located on the second side;
• a first switch, electrically coupled with the first electrode and the third electrode, wherein the first switch configures the first electrode and the third electrode as signal electrodes when it is in an open position and as body potential electrodes when it is in a closed position;
• and
• a second switch, electrically coupled with the second electrode and the fourth electrode, wherein the second switch configures the second electrode and the fourth electrode as signal electrodes when it is in an open position and as body potential electrodes when it is in a closed position.

A method to manufacture an implantable device comprising:

• creating a carrier with a first side and a second side, wherein the first side and the second side are on different surfaces;
• creating electrodes on each the first side and the second side, wherein the first side comprises a first signal electrode and a first body potential electrode, and the second side comprises a second signal electrode and a second body potential electrode;
• and
• electrically coupling the first body potential electrode to the second body potential electrode.
