1. A structure, comprising:
a substrate that includes:
an elongate body extending from a first end to a second end in a first direction, wherein the elongate body includes an elongate stem portion; and
a plurality of electrode connection structures connected with the elongate body;
a plurality of electrodes coupled to the substrate through the plurality of electrode connection structures, respectively, each of the electrodes having a stimulation surface and a plurality of leg structures; and
a wiring assembly that is coupled to the elongate body and that extends in the first direction, the wiring assembly including a plurality of conductive wires;
wherein:
each of the conductive wires is coupled to a respective one of the electrodes;
each electrode connection structure defines a first coupling end, a second coupling end, and a first opening positioned between the first coupling end and the second coupling end;
a respective one of the electrodes is inserted through the first opening such that the stimulation surface is non-coplanar with the substrate and faces away from the substrate; and
the first coupling end and the second coupling end are coupled to the plurality of leg structures of the respective one of the electrodes inserted through the first opening.
