Claim 0:
1. A method of deploying an electrode array at a target location within a patient's cranium through a hole formed in the patient's cranium and verifying placement at said target location, the method comprising:
obtaining an electrode array system, wherein the electrode array system comprises a cannula having a lumen, a substrate, an array of electrodes attached to the substrate, and an inserter attached to the substrate, wherein the substrate, the array of electrodes, and the inserter are positioned in the lumen in a first compressed state;
inserting the cannula through the hole;
sliding the cannula backwards while positioning the inserter, the substrate, and the array of electrodes at the target location;
causing the inserter, the substrate and the array of electrodes to transition from the first compressed state to a second uncompressed state at the target location; and
using an electrical pulse generator, verifying placement of the array of electrodes at the target location.
