Hi Cutter, I would agree that in a model with 44 subjects and no significant voxels, something must have gone wrong. For one, have you checked the mask image? If there is not enough overlap or sever data corruption, this is a good place to start. Also, for checking several images, I sent a snippet to the list a day or so ago, which I have now expanded to generate a histogram of all assessed images (attached). This may make it easier for you to find the guilty ones.
