A stimulation system can include one or more stimulating components, each of which can include one or more electrodes and one or more leads. Each lead can be connected at a first end of the lead to an electrode of the one or more electrodes and can be connected at a second end of the lead to a bonding pad of the one or more bonding pads. The stimulation system can also include a cylindrical substrate. Each stimulating component can be secured to a surface of the cylindrical substrate. The stimulation system can further include a skull-mount package that includes electronics that identify stimulation parameters. The bonding pads can be electrically connected to the electronics. The skull-mount package can further include one or more bonding pads. Each lead can be directly electrically and physically connected to a bonding pad of the one or more bonding pads.
