Hi - the timing text file needs to be a raw text file; yours contains lots of control characters in it which will confuse the text reader in FEAT.
Cheers, Steve.

Hi there,

I have a fMRI experiment with 5 imagery tasks, each task last 21 seconds interleaved with 21s rest. Each block (imagery or rest) begins with 2~4 seconds auditory command to tell what following task should be. I made all the command playing as auditory  stimulate event (timing file is attached). But when I click done the model design, it prompt "No valid [onset duration strength] triplets found in ......txt, child process exited" , are the command recordings(each 2~4seconds) too short?  And then, I just set the 5 tasks to 5 EVs, were these auditory stimuli counted as rest state? How can I fix it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Emma
