Abstract
In some preferred embodiments, without limitation, the present invention comprises an implantable, intracranial neural interface node which is an integrated and minimally invasive platform system and supports cross-modal neural interfaces to the cerebrum and other associated structures in the central nervous system. The neural interfaces comprise electrical and chemical interfaces for neural recording, electrical stimulation, chemical delivery, chemical sensing, chemical sampling, cell delivery, genetic material delivery and/or other functions of interest.
Claims19
An implantable neural interface node, comprising:
- a base insertable into a mammalian cranium, wherein the base includes side walls that define a lumen;
- a plurality of neuroprobe assemblies coupled to the base;
- and
- an electronic component coupled to at least one of the neuroprobe assemblies;
- wherein the base further includes a shelf and the electronic component includes a circuit board on the shelf within the base, wherein the circuit board is substantially flat and circular and defines an open center.
