As part of the design of a novel head-only scanner for improved accessibility of MRI and advanced motor coordination studies, we developed a finite element model of the expected vibration modes of a multi-coil array capable of generating linear and non-linear MRI encoding fields. We found significant resonances in the frequency range of interest whose shape and position can be altered by mechanical uncoupling of the array through mounting via rubber elements.
