fast_selxavg3() failed\n - Freesurfer

11 Feb 2017


      Dear FreeSurfers,
I'm trying to perform a block design analysis with fsfast. All the steps up until the selxavg3-sess works quite fine. However, upon using the selxavg3-sess as, for example, in "selxavg3-sess -s Sess01 -a motion.sm3.lh -no-preproc -overwrite" I receive the following error. I'd appreciate any feedbacks on what might be the problem. Thank you.
