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

If you have an event type for which there is no event, then that is
definitely the problem. Let me know if it is not that.
