1. A low-pressure neural contact structure for contact with neural tissue, comprising:

  • a first portion for anchoring said neural contact structure to a bodily location, anda second portion adapted to contact said neural tissue, said second portion interconnected with said first portion via an interconnection easily conforming to contours in said neural tissue to exhibit a weak restoring force in response to curvature of the interconnection to provide a desired pressure of contact of said second portion against said neural tissue of below 10 mm mercury, the desired pressure sufficient to permit stimulation of the neural tissue without damage to said neural tissue.
