<p>A multi-element probe array suitable for sensing or stimulating is disclosed. On one embodiment, the multi-element probe array (10) includes a plurality of microfibers (12) extending longitudinally and oriented substantially parallel to form a bundle. Prob elements (14) are defined by a first subset of the microfibers displaced in a forward direction along the longitudinal axis relative to spacer elements defined by a second subset of the microfibers. Interface elements (20) and communication elements (22) are disposed on the probe elements.</p>
