Hello List,I am having some problems setting up a model for an event related design. I select the full model setup and define the EVs( there are 7 EVs) in the custom 3 column format. My first two EVs setup fine but when I setup a third one , it gives me the following error: Problem with processing the model : No valid [onset duration strength] triplets found in <textfile> child process exited abnormally. The EVs are as follows:There are 3 phases to the experiment:Phase 1 : where two colors are presented red and blueEV1= Red Phase1EV2 = Red Phase 1Phase 2: Where few reds are coupled with an auditory stimuli:EV3: Red + auditory stimuliEV4: Red Phase 2EV5:Blue Phase 2Phase 3: Where no auditory stimuli are coupled to the colorsEV6: Red EV7:BlueThe aim is to look at differences in response to each color in each of the phases and also across phases- eg Red in phase 3 vs red in phase 1., Within phases : red vs blue in phase 3 The EVs were setup in the following manner :EV1:4 1 1 13 1 1 19 1 1 21 1 1 22 1 1 The problematic EV:214 1 1 219 1 1 223 1 1 258 1 1 260 1 1 264 1 1 277 1 1 Why am I getting this error for the model setup? Is it because of the strengths- 0 or 1? At the moment I have assigned 1 to all the EVs, should I be assigning 1s to the Evs with auditory stimuli and 0 to others? How do I decide?
