The present invention relates to a probe (130), especially a probe (130) for neural applications, preferably a probe (130) for a neurostimulation and/or neurorecording system (100), the probe (130) comprising at least one lead (300) and an Advanced Lead Connector (ALC) element (111), the lead (300) comprising at least one thin film (301), whereby the thin film (301) comprises a proximal end (310) and a distal end (304), the lead (300) further comprising a plurality of electrodes (132) on the distal end (304) of the thin film (301), the Advanced Lead Connector (ALC) element (111) comprising electronic means to address the plurality of electrodes (132) and at least one ALC connecting means (112), whereby the proximal end (310) of the thin film (301) and the ALC connecting means (112) are connected by an interposing means (150) so as to form at least an electric and/or electronic connection between the electrodes (132) and the Advanced Lead Connector (ALC) element (111). Furthermore, the present invention relates to a neurostimulation and/or neurorecording system (100), an interposing means (150), an assembly comprising at least one thin film (301) for a lead (300) of a probe (130) and further comprising an Advanced Lead Connector (ALC) element (111), and a method of manufacturing a probe (130).
