"The 64-Channel Head/Neck coil allows us to get better signals from the cortex and also cover the cerebellum and the neck very well. That allows exploration of new research fields which are difficult to do with other coils."1

"The Head/Neck 64 reveals previously hard-to-recognize, but pertinent anatomical and disease-related details for a spectrum of pathologies within the brain, inner ear, orbits, skull base and neck, as well as the cervical spinal cord. This leads to improved insight into neuro-anatomy relevant to an extended range of diseases. All this can be achieved, fortunately, at advanced speed and resolution."1

“I think that at the end of the day, we produced a very high quality coil and it will be usable with almost any patient and it has succeeded in extending the coverage of the 32 channel brain array down into the spine.”1

"And this has relevance, for example, for neurodegenerative diseases, for multiple sclerosis, where the spinal cord is heavily involved. Or for pain studies or motor learning or functional plasticity of the central nervous system."1

"Collaboration was great [...] I think the success of the enterprise, the fact that this prototype worked first time out, really spoke, not just to the brilliance of Boris and Larry and the design, but to the closeness of the interactions that we had with our colleagues at Siemens to provide us all the key information and hardware we needed to design and build a successful coil."1
