1. A fan-like cortical electrode device comprising at least two separate electrode segments, wherein each of the at least two electrode segments comprises:
(a) a thin film pad, the thin film pad being a substantially triangular shaped thin film pad having a first width at a distal end of the thin film pad that is greater than a second width at the proximal end of the thin film pad;
(b) a plurality of electrode contacts disposed on the thin film pad; and
(c) a proximal connector attached to a proximal end of the thin film pad,
wherein the at least two separate electrode segments are configured to be delivered separately such that a first outer edge of the thin film pad of each of the at least two electrodes segments is disposed adjacent to a second outer edge of the thin film pad of at least one other of the at least two electrode segments to form a fanned arrangement, and the proximal connectors of all of the at least two electrode segments are configured to be stacked together in a stacked configuration following delivery of each of the separate electrode segments such that the proximal connector of each of the at least two electrode segments is configured to be disposed through a single opening in a skull of a patient.
