The invention relates to a system for reception and/or emission of an electrical signal from or into the human or animal body, comprising at least one insulated electrical conductor； a sleeve-shaped electrode that is electrically connected to the electrical conductor and comprises an internal side, an external side, a channel, and an opening in a wall of the channel, whereby the channel defines a longitudinal axis along which the conductor is arranged in the channel. According to the invention, a material of the electrode surrounds the entire circumference of the opening； the electrical conductor is guided through the opening between the internal side and the external side of the opening transverse to the longitudinal axis of the channel； and the electrical conductor is connected to the electrode within the opening directly in firmly-bonded and/or force-locking manner such that a durable mechanical and electrical connection between the electrical conductor and the electrode is established.
