Abstract
An implant device for creating a neural interface with the central nervous system having a polyimide-based electrode array is presented along with a method for making the device. The device may be configured as a three dimensional structure and is capable of sensing multi-unit neural activity from the cerebral cortex. Mechanical, electrical and biological characteristics of the device support its use as a reliable, long term implant.
