Hi Kiley, the problem is with your matlab setup. As you point out your matlab is 32 bit but your machine is 64 bit. This should be able to run, but I don't know how to modify the matlab install to make it run. If you can, try to upgrade to the 64bit version.

Hi Freesurfers

I have just begun using Freesurfer (and the mac terminal) to do my retinotopic mapping. So far I have found the reconstruction and pre-analysis to be far superior than anything I have used before. However, I am now at the stage of running the selxavg3-sess command ( selxavg3-sess -a rtopy.self.lh -s IFEE2211 -no-preproc ) and I am getting the following error. I googled the error and found a post that says I must change a line in the selxavg3-sess script so that my 32bit version of MATLAB can be used, but I am not very familiar with the files formats used and my attempts to change them in order to successfully progress have been futile. Your help for such a 'basic user' question will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
