1. A sensor array comprising:
a base for providing a probe signal forming a proximal side of the sensor array;
a plurality of modular recording sites in communication with the base and arranged at a distal side of the sensor array, wherein each modular recording site of the plurality of modular recording sites comprises,
a CMOS complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) silicon substrate,
at least one sensor element configured for receiving an analog biosignal,
an analog-to-digital converter disposed on the CMOS silicon substrate and configured for converting the analog biosignal into a digital sensor signal and
a communication interface configured to provide the digital sensor signal to the base;
wherein the communication interfaces of the plurality of modular recording sites are connected serially with respect to each other and to the base.
