Ah, the subject was missing Neutral from all three runs.  Removing them from the sessid gets rid of the error.

Thanks!

Hi Keith,
if you don't have any Neutral in a session, you can't do a Good-Neutral comparison. If you have multiple runs within a session, then it should be ok.

Hi Doug,

I'm having a similar problem.  Subjects had the opportunity to classify stimuli into one of three categories (Good, Bad, Neutral).  For some subjects, one of more of the runs did not contain any stimuli that they classified as Neutral.  If I want to look at a contrast that compare Good-Neutral, how should I go about doing this with FS-FAST?  I'd like to keep the runs that contained neutral classifications for those subjects, but if I have to throw out those subjects to get the contrast, I guess I could.

Thanks,
Keith
