Dear Feng, switch off writing the 3D cortical thickness maps (which is experimental). Best, Christian Dear Christian, I have tried the first solution that add the line to my batch (attached batch_new): matlabbatch{1}.spm.tools.cat.estwrite.extopts.expertgui = 1; However, it still did not work: can not generate the mri_atlas folder, csf files and so on. So, I turned to try the second solution: I made a customized cat_default file (attached cat_defaults_feng) and then type: /THL7/home/qinwen/software/matlab_toolbox/spm12/toolbox/cat12/cat_batch_cat.sh /THL7/home/qinwen/data/liu_test/T1Img_example/010001/co20151102_181340QUMINGYUE.nii -d /THL7/home/qinwen/data/liu_test/tianhe_code/cat_defaults_CHIMGEN.m -m /THL7/home/qinwen/software/matlab/bin/matlab This could generate all the volume files and mri_atlas files. However, there is something wrong after displaying thickness (attached catlog_co20151102_181340QUMINGYUE.txt and catreport_co20151102_181340QUMINGYUE.pdf): Display thickness: /THL7/home/qinwen/data/liu_test/T1Img_example/010001/surf/lh.thickness.co20151102_181340QUMINGYUE Display thickness: /THL7/home/qinwen/data/liu_test/T1Img_example/010001/surf/rh.thickness.co20151102_181340QUMINGYUE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CAT Preprocessing error for co20151102_181340QUMINGYUE: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Too many input arguments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 456 - cat_io_writenii 1863 - cat_main 721 - cat_run_job1070 16 - cat_run_newcatch 398 - run_job 161 - cat_run 29 - cfg_run_cm 1688 - local_runcj 959 - cfg_util 469 - fill_run_job 247 - spm_jobman 94 - cat_batch_cat Could you give me some suggestions?

It looks like the expert mode was not recognized by the Linux server system. You can try to add the following line to your batch to force the expert mode: matlabbatch{1}.spm.tools.cat.estwrite..extopts.expertgui = 1; It might also work if you create a customized cat_default file with your own settings and you call CAT12 from the shell using cat_batch_cat.sh your_nifti_files -d your_cat_defaults_file.m -m your_matlab_command This will automatically distribute your files to the available processors. Please check the help function of cat_batch_cat.sh.
