1. A neural interface system, comprising: an electrode array having a plurality of electrode sites that electrically communicate with their surroundings; wherein the plurality of electrode sites includes a subset of stimulation electrode sites and a subset of recording electrode sites; a carrier that supports the electrode array; and a plurality of conductive interconnects coupled to the electrode array and configured such that the width of the conductive interconnect is proportional to the length of the conductive interconnect, such that the resistance is generally equal across all conductive interconnects; wherein the electrode array is coupled to the carrier such that the plurality of electrode sites are arranged both circumferentially around the carrier and axially along the carrier.
