Dear SPM list,
there has been a thread some time ago about the xCon.mat not being loaded by
the contrast manager, for occasionally it might get corrupted by matlab (I
attach the messages below).
Since I have the same problem with a quiet large analysis and I would like
to access the contrasts I have already entered to perform some masking, I
would like to know whether in the mean time anybody has fixed the problem.
Is there any way to "repair" or rescue the xCon.mat file?
