In some preferred embodiments, without limitation, the present invention comprises an implantable, intracranial neural interface node which is an integrated and minimally invasive platform system and supports cross-modal neural interfaces to the cerebrum and other associated structures in the central nervous system. The neural interfaces comprise electrical and chemical interfaces for neural recording, electrical stimulation, chemical delivery, chemical sensing, chemical sampling, cell delivery, genetic material delivery and/or other functions of interest.

Intracranial neural interface system

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.
