Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to connectors for high density neural interfaces and methods of microfabricating the connectors. Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a connector having a main body, a first plug extending from the main body, a flexible bridge extending from the main body or the first plug, and a second plug extending from the flexible bridge. This structure allows for the main body, the first plug, and the second plug to be arranged in tandem on a longitudinal axis of the main body, which enables the connector to be passed through a narrow diameter cannula. This structure also allows for the first plug and the second plug to be arranged in a spread out orientation, which enables the connector to be electrically connected with a neurostimulator.
