Dear SPMers,
 
Is anyone able to advise on the following repost?
I gather from the list that it's an orientation problem, but I don't have access to the raw or pre-processed data files anymore.
I only have the first level analysis output files.
Is there anything I can do to convert the old model files to make their orientation compatible with the new full data sets?
 
Thank-you :-)
 
Rachel

Dear SPM experts,
 
I have some data sets analysed with SPM5 that I need to compare in a 2nd level analysis with some data analysed more recently with SPM8.
As others have experienced, I got the following error message....
 
Failed  'Factorial design specification'
Error using ==> spm_check_orientations at 47
The orientations etc must be identical for this procedure.
In file "C:\Program Files\spm8\spm_check_orientations.m" (v1143), function "spm_check_orientations" at line 47.
In file "C:\Program Files\spm8\config\spm_run_factorial_design.m" (v3067), function "spm_run_factorial_design" at line 694.
 
The entries for the recent data sets are listed in matlab as...
[-3 0 0 81; 0 3 0 -115; 0 0 3 -53]  G:\Work\Incongruity\MG\parametric stroop\artrepair\con_0001.img
 
The entries for the old data sets are listed as...
[-3 0 0 81; 0 3 0 -114; 0 0 3 -54]  G:\Work\Incongruity\DF\parametric\con_0001.img

The problem is that I don't have access to the original image files to go back and process the old data sets again from spatial pre-processing onwards.
I only have the first level analysis output files.
 
Is there anything I can do to convert the old model files to make their orientation compatible with the new full data sets?
 
Your guidance would be much appreciated
 
best wishes and thanks
Rachel
