Claim One:
1. A neural intervention system, comprising: a guide tube comprising a guide tube sidewall extending along a longitudinal axis from a proximal guide tube portion having a proximal guide tube end to a distal guide tube portion having a distal guide tube end, wherein a tube lumen extends from the proximal guide tube end to at least the distal guide tube end; a plurality of deployment channels disposed inside the guide tube, each of the plurality of deployment channels comprising a channel sidewall defining a channel lumen extending from a proximal channel open end to a distal channel open end as an open port at the guide tube sidewall, wherein the proximal channel open end of a first deployment channel of the plurality of deployment channels resides at a first location along a first imaginary plane aligned substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and wherein the proximal channel open end of a second deployment channel of the plurality of deployment channels resides at a second location along the first imaginary plane radially closer to the longitudinal axis; an actuation mechanism having a length extending from a proximal actuation end to a distal actuation portion; and a plurality of neural probes that is registered with the plurality of deployment channels and that is connected to a manifold attached to the distal actuation portion of the actuation mechanism, at least one neural probe extending from a proximal probe end to a distal probe portion having a distal probe end, wherein the distal probe portion has at least one electrode configured for electrical stimulation of body tissue or recording of biological characteristics, and wherein at least the distal probe end is received in at least one deployment channel of the plurality of deployment channels; and wherein the proximal probe end is connected to the distal actuation portion, the proximal actuation end is movable in a distal direction along the longitudinal axis to cause the at least one neural probe to move through the at least one deployment channel and out the distal channel open end to thereby move the at least one electrode into a body tissue.
