1. An apparatus for providing an interface between a nerve and an external information system, said apparatus comprising:
a substrate comprising a first surface, an opposite second surface, and an electrode body, said electrode body comprises a plurality of holes extending therethrough; a plurality of electrical leads embedded on or in said substrate; and a plurality of ring electrodes, each of said plurality of ring electrodes circumscribing, either partially or completely, a corresponding one of said plurality of holes, wherein at least a portion of said plurality of ring electrodes is positioned on each of said first surface and said second surface such that, for each corresponding hole, a first ring electrode on said first surface circumscribes a first end of the hole and a second ring electrode on said second surface circumscribes an opposite second end of the hole such that said substrate is positioned between said first and second ring electrodes. |
