Abstract
A neural probe structure, which is fixed to a nerve to acquire an electrical signal from the nerve or apply electrical stimulation to the nerve, includes a body which is bent to enclose at least a part of circumference of the nerve, and a probe which extends longitudinally from the body and passes through the nerve, wherein the probe has electrodes. A neural probe assembly includes the neural probe structure, wherein the probe passes through the nerve and the body encloses at least a part of circumference of the nerve, so that the neural probe structure is fixed to the nerve.
