Claim:
1. A probe for deep brain stimulation, comprising: a plurality of electrically conducting leads forming a structure having a longitudinal axis and comprising at least two end-to-end interconnected spirals, wherein the structure comprises a foil and the electrically conducting leads comprise tracks on the foil, wherein the at least two end-to-end interconnected spirals extend around the longitudinal axis and have different directions of rotation such that, when the spirals are subjected to an external magnetic field, levels of currents induced in the spirals by the external magnetic field are reduced, and wherein the structure has a single, continuous, non-overlapping outer surface that extends from a proximal end of one of the at least two end-to-end interconnected spirals to at least a distal end of another one of the at least two end-to-end interconnected spirals.
