Just turn off your implicit mask. You will get some noise off the brain, but it will solve your problem for now. Its easy to mask off brain voxels after you normalize. WFU pickatlas can create an MNI brain mask, or there is one included with FSL that works well too.

Dear all,

thank you very much for your help - just as you suggested, the mask was incorrect (completely black). I checked my settings and I have Threshold (none), Implicit mask (yes), Explicit mask (none). Individual subjects' con images look OK.

I think that the best solution would be to make an explicit mask, since I don't know what and why went wrong with the implicit mask - do you think it is a good solution?

Thank you again,

Jana

Matlab creates a mask to limit GLM analysis to in-brain voxels. This is calculated based on a intensity threshold, perhaps it is too stringent. Look at your Mask.img file in the glm output folder and make sure ~isempty(mask).

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Erica,

thank you for your reply! Actually, I am not using a mask. That's why I was so puzzled by this error message.

Best,

Jana

Are you using masking? I've gotten this error before when I created a binary mask incorrectly (the mask was just black, so of course there was no area for the program to analyse data within). Hope this helps!
