Abstract
A neural probe array is provided for subdural implantation to record intracranial field potentials in the brain. The neural probe array includes a base having first and second sides and a plurality of apertures therebetween. A plurality of contacts are spaced along the first side of the base for recording the field potentials. It is contemplated to provide drug delivery through the apertures in the base in order to enhance the biocompatibility of the neural probe array and to utilize the field potentials recorded by the contacts to drive an external device.
