Hello I receive similar errors regardless of options entered when trying to convert MEG data from a CTF-151 unit using SPM8b. I have read the manual and I have tried various options within the convert gui but the error messages are usually similar to the example below (taken from the Just Read option). I am pointing the convert gui to the .meg4 file. The errors output are as follows: SPM8b: spm_eeg_convert_ui (v2850) 16:41:02 - 19/03/2009 ======================================================================= readCPersist: Stop strings (EndOfParameters) do not balance start strings (WS1_). (No. of start strings)-(No. of stop strings)=1. ??? Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback. Is there a solution? What am I doing wrong? Thanks & cheers, Deryk Deryk Beal, M.HSc., S-LP(C), Reg.
