A biosensing device includes a sensor module and an electric signal transducer. The sensor module includes a biosensor adapted for measuring a biosignal of a host, and a fixed seat including a conducting member that is electrically connected to the biosensor. The electric signal transducer is for receiving and sending the biosignal measured by the biosensor, is coupled to the sensor module, and includes an electric signal unit electrically connected to the conducting member, and a battery connected to the electric signal unit. The electric signal unit has two electrical contacts that cooperatively define a switch. The battery provides power supply to the biosensor when the electric signal transducer is coupled to the sensor module.

A probe includes an insertion portion insertable into a body organ, a projecting portion being exposed to an outside of a body after the insertion portion is inserted into the body organ, a device mounting area onto which an external-device coupler is removably mountable, and sensing electrodes provided on the insertion portion and the device mounting area. When the insertion portion is inserted into the body organ, the sensing electrodes detect a biosignal and become conductive with coupling electrodes of the external-device coupler mounted onto the device mounting area. The probe is an electromyograph probe that detects a biosignal measurable by an electromyograph. The insertion portion and the projecting portion of the probe may be integrated or separate from each other. Both of the insertion portion and the projecting portion or only the insertion portion may be disposable.

Disclosed is a stent-mesh and microelectrode assembly that is deployable using a catheter or cannula to form a neural interface for recording and/or stimulation of neural tissue. In some embodiments, the assembly may include a thin-film microelectrode array attached to a spring-like stent-mesh component.
