Abstract
A modular biomedical implant includes a processor, an electrode array, and a cable. The first end of the cable is attached to the electrode array and a second end of the cable terminates in a first array of contacts. A second array of contacts is electrically connected to the processor. A separate anisotropic conductor is disposed between the first array of contacts and the second array of contacts and forms electrical connections between the first array of contacts and the second array of contacts. A method for replacing a processor of a modular biomedical implant is also provided.
