Abstract

An electrode (1) suitable for implantation in a body, for recording electrical signals from nervous tissues in the body and for electrically exciting nervous tissues in the body, is disclosed. The electrode (1) comprises a communication channel (11) for communicating signals to and /or from the body, and a support (3) for supporting the or each communication channel (11), such that the length of the communication channel (11) is greater than the distance between the its ends. The communication channel (11) may be flexible such that changes in the distance between the ends of the communication channel (11) can be accommodated. An anchor portion (9) anchors at least a portion of the electrode (11) to surrounding material when implanted in the body.
