Dear FSL team,

 

Is there anything wrong with my settings?  I let randomise to run overnight and it is still running after 10 hours.  The details are as follows:

 

randomise_parallel -i all_FA_skeletonised -o FA_tbss -m mean_FA_skeleton_mask -d design.mat -t design.con -f design.fts -e design.grp --T2 -V

 

After this command, I got this message:

Generating 63 fragments of 80 permutation per contrast. Allocating 20 minutes per fragment.
The total number of permutations per contrast will be 5040.

 

Then screen is not changing any more after this output mesage.

 

The details about all my parameters are here:

 

2 factor (gender and age), each with two level.
