    摘要: According to the present invention, an apparatus for manufacturing a multichannel electrode array for cranial nerve stimulation comprises: an electrode support (100) supporting a plurality of electric wires, and having a plurality of platinum rings inserted therein; a frame member (200) including a base (210), a pair of vertical frames (220), and a horizontal frame (240) to fix the electrode support (100); a rotating member (600) into the center of which the electrode support (100) is inserted, and which rotates such that electric wires are twisted, pair by pair, at the electrode support (100) so as to form a grid, when bobbins (700) that are wound with the electric wires slide; an elevating plate (500) rotatably and slidably supporting the rotating member (600); and a pair of left-side and right-side control units (800) and (900) which rotate the rotating member (600) such that the rotating member (600) slides along a length equal to that the grid. A multichannel electrode array manufactured according to the apparatus and method of the present invention can withstand unexpected forces and shocks as two pairs of electric wires (one disposed vertically and the other horizontally) move downward while alternately rotating so as to be twisted and form a grid, while a plurality of electric wires are vertically supported.
