Hi,
I had the same problem with the matlab 32-bit version. Try to install the (recent) matlab 64-bit on your Mac.
cheers,

It is "only" trying to allocate 1.3GB, so it might be that matlab does not have enough memory when it runs. Is there a way to give matlab more memory? If not, you can re-make your analysis with -acfbins 10. The default is 30, so this will reduce the needed memory by a factor of 3. I don't think it will affect your results much. doug

Dear Doug,
I saw your reply to this question a while ago. I'm using a mac pro with 16G memory but having the same problem. Do you know if this is a matlab memory issue (matlab R2009a) or an overall memory issue of the machine? I'd appreciate if you can give me some helps. (I have 12 runs, each run has 200 TRs and 20 events, TR=2s)
Thanks very much! Brown
ps. Here are the commands and error messages:

I think you might need a bigger computer. A run of that data set will require almost 1G, and there are places in the code where several data structures of the same size will need to exist simultaneously, so you can easily use 2 or 3 or 4 G to process a single run. In theory you could divide them up into smaller bits as long as you handle the stimulus schedule files properly.
