Claim:
1. An apparatus for measuring electrophysiological signals in a human or animal body, said apparatus comprising: a support structure comprising a central portion and a plurality of elongated portions extending radially outwards from said central portion, the central portion having a plurality of openings passing entirely through the support structure at respective interfaces between the central portion and the elongated portions; and a flexible electrode assembly comprising a central region having a plurality of electrical contacts, a plurality of elongated portions extending from the central region and each having a distal end spaced from the central region with an electrode disposed thereon, each electrode at the distal end coupled to one of the electrical contacts in the central region, said flexible electrode assembly mounted on said support structure such that said elongated portions of said flexible electrode assembly each extend through the openings and along a respective elongated portion of said support structure, wherein the electrode assembly is removably and repeatedly attached to the support structure; and a flexible printed circuit board disposed on at least one side of at least one elongated portion of the support structure and connecting said electrical contacts and said electrode, the flexible circuit board having a plurality of electrically-conductive through holes.
