1. A method for making an electrode delivery system comprising:
securing a tip of a first electrode to a proximal portion of an inserter, wherein the inserter has an elongated cylindrical shape;
securing a tip of a second electrode to a more distal portion of the inserter;
winding the first electrode and the second electrode around the inserter, by:
rotating the inserter to initiate the winding of the first electrode and the second electrode by a rotational motor; and
translating the first electrode and the second electrode distally along the inserter by a linear motor,
wherein the rotating and translating work together to produce at least two coils of each of the first electrode and the second electrode; and
securing a portion of each of the first electrode and the second electrode to a distal portion of the inserter.
