External Email - Use Caution        

dear experts,
I try to run FSFAST with a block design paradigm. there a few question i can figure out on my own.
the 1st question:
the directory structure was set as:
-meridian
     --sess01
           --bold
                 -001
                 -002
           --lpx (subjectname folder contian anatomical data run by "recon-all" previously)
           --subjectname (a file)
Since there was only one subject, i didn't create sessid.
then i run:
preproc-sess -s sess01 -fsd bold -per-run -fwhm 5 -sliceorder odd -surface fsaverage lhrh -init-fsl
but i got this warning (the full log is in the attachment):

if: Expression Syntax.

I wonder what's wrong with the command.

--------------------------------------------------

the 2nd question:

following the website http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsFastLinkAnatData

I create a subjectname file which contains:

cd $SUBJECTS_DIR/$SUBJECT

echo "$SUBJECT">>lpx


is it work? How to link the functional data to anatomical data?

--------------------------------------------------

the 3rd question:

i use a stationary wedge stimuli to activate the horizontal and vertical meridian representations in visual cortex. the design parameters: TR=2, 8hz flickering checkerbords, 16s fixation followed by 4 conditions(20s each), each condition show a wedge in up, down, left and right meridian, 3 repetitions

the meridian.par was set as:

0.0   0  16.0  1.0  fix

17.0  1  20.0  1.0  up

37.0  2  20.0  1.0  down

57.0  3  20.0  1.0  left

77.0  4  20.0  1.0  right

97.0  1  20.0  1.0  up

117.0  2  20.0  1.0  down

137.0  3  20.0  1.0  left

157.0  4  20.0  1.0  right

177.0  1  20.0  1.0  up

197.0  2  20.0  1.0  down

217.0  3  20.0  1.0  left

237.0  4  20.0  1.0  right


my question is, in the first-level analysis, is right to write the command:

mkanalysis-sess \
-analysis meridian \
-event-related -paradigm meridian.par \
-TR 2 -nconditions 4 \
-mcextreg

best,
