Dear Mark (/FSL Community),


Thanks so much for your response. I tried using fslmaths with -nan followed by my basic preprocessing feat analysis, but to no avail.


I ran a feat preprocessing as follows (including only changes from default settings):


First-level analysis - Preprocessing


Data:

  • 4D data: PID_nonan
Pre-stats:
  • MELODIC ICA data exploration
Registration:
  • Main structural image: PID_brain
  • Nonlinear registration

Attached is the log file (also as a text file) and another log text from the Output directory.

I would be so grateful for any help that you guys can give me.

Kindest regards,

Conor

Hi,

This all looks fine, and there is no problem with the data type.
What can be a problem sometimes (though I can't tell if it is in this case or not) is the presence of NaN values in the image.  FSL is not happy with these values, though they can be easily removed.  Just run:

fslmaths Pid_FUNC -nan Pid_FUNC_nonan

and then try again with the new file (Pid_FUNC_nonan).

Hopefully that will fix the problem.
If not please email back but provide more details about exactly what you have run and more information from the error (e.g., the log file).

All the best,
        Mark
