Abstract
The present invention is a method of producing an electrode probe assembly, comprising, providing a flexible polymer substrate bearing a coating of conductive material and using photolithography and electroplating to form a set of contacts and conductors on the flexible polymer substrate. A resilient material substrate is provided and laminated to the flexible polymer substrate. The assembly may be sized and shaped so that it may be driven through brain tissue.
