Hi,
There is no reason that analyses should fail (i.e. crash) by changing the threshold. You could get zero significant activations, but that is not what we would consider to be a fail.
If you did have special characters then that could easily cause things to behave erratically, so fix that first and see if that is the cause.
All the best,Mark

Hi,Thank you very much for responding. I am trying the analysis again with the directory path having no special characters.
However, I'm pretty confident this is not the problem in our case. We have run multiple seeds using the same directory path and obtained results and finalized reports. Our problem is that we get errors having run one seed at 1.9 threshold and, using the same design file, changed the threshold to 2.3 and had the analysis fail. All things in the design were the same excluding the z-threshold and the output name (name changed from 1.9 to 2.3).
Is there any reason that an analysis might fail after only changing the z-threshold? Maybe the special characters cause FEAT to act somewhat erratically? I will try without the use of any special characters but perhaps there is a different issue.
Thank you,Daniel

Hi - it's possible that this is failing because you have illegal characters in your pathname?In general UNIX scripts often cannot handle spaces, %, etc.Cheers, Steve.

<Archive.zip>Hello FSLers,
I'm running into an issue when running a higher-level analysis with seed timeseries lower-level FEAT directories as inputs. I've gotten the analysis to work for many of the seed regions but some are failing after the only change being to the inputs directories and in one case only changing the z-threshold. Here is a link to the report_log - http://pastebin.com/9akqACE2 .
I've tried checking the lower-level FEAT inputs but they seem to have ran fine and have worked in other analyses. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this seems like a very odd issue since it works for some of the seeds. I've attached two sample design files, one that worked and one that does not.
Many thanks,Daniel--
