A cortical stimulating and recording electrode includes a flexible support element for a conductive element, the flexible support element having a head end and a tail end. The conductive element has a head contact and a tail contact, arranged respectively at the head end and tail end of the flexible support element, such that the conductive element transmits signals from the head contact to the tail contact and vice versa. Moreover, the conductive element is configured as a conductive track formed of a layer of conductive ink deposited on the flexible support element.
