Hi list,

I'm having problem to use FS-FAST fMRI connectivity using as seed a mask of a MRS voxel or .label obtained by drawing it from surface. In order to resolve my concern, I'm reporting step by step the command lines which I have used. The mask, f.nii.gz, orig.nii.gz and aparc+aseg.nii.gz showed a good overlap.

These are the features of each one:

I’m using MNI2mm for subcortical analysis.

When I run fcseed-sess -s Subj -cfg MRS_MASK.config -overwrite, it seem to be functioning for the first subj, but the next subj2 show this error
