Hi Doug,

I created a new first level analysis along with new contrasts and event numbers for a group of subjects I had previously done analyses on. All but one of the subjects finished selxavg3 without error, but one subject gave the following error:


Saving X matrix to /home/sidkundu/freesurfer/sessions/Heading-TTP/LMV2010_N19_Heading-TTP/bold/TTP-analysis-3/Xtmp.mat
Error using svd
Input to SVD must not contain NaN or Inf.

Error in cond (line 39)
   s = svd(A);

Error in fast_selxavg3 (line 248)
  XCond = cond(XtX);
 
>> ------------------------------------------
ERROR: fast_selxavg3() failed\n


I looked at the generated Xtmp.mat file and it shows the design matrix X has all zeros in 2 columns, resulting in NaNs in the same columns for Xn, and corresponding NaNs in XtX. I'm wondering what would cause this or why it would only occur for only one subject.
