Hi In your case simply run melodic from the command line. Assuming that all single subject data has been pre-processed (smoothing/filtering/motion correction) and then transferred into a common space you simply (i) create a ascii text file listing all the input file, e.g. ls ./my_study/my_subject*/fmri/data.nii.gz > all_files.txt (ii) create your own group mask (iii) call melodic with melodic -i all_files.txt -o whereever_you_want_the_output -m mask -a concat [other options] hth Christian On 3 Feb 2010, at 19:09, Leon Leyba wrote: > Hello, > > Thank you for making FSL an open-source tool.
