Abstract:
1. An implantable electrode system, comprising: a) a wafer comprising a frame portion defining an open region; b) at least a first electrode structure comprising a first conductive lead and at least one of a first stimulation electrode site and a first recording electrode site; and c) at least a first and a second bridges, the first bridge extending from a first bridge frame end connected to the frame portion to a first bridge electrode end connected to the first electrode structure in the open region, and the second bridge extending from a second bridge frame end connected to the frame portion spaced from the first bridge frame end to a second bridge electrode end connected to the first electrode structure in the open region, d) wherein the first electrode structure is connected to the first and second bridges in the open region, spaced from the frame portion to be thereby suspended in the open region defined by the frame portion of the base by the first and second bridges.
