Setup

Alfonso,

I am hoping that you (or someone ) can help me. I have struggled using CONN on one of my data sets. I originally processed data sets individually and was able to go through first level analysis with no problems. However, when I tried to merge them I encountered multiple errors saying that the projects were not the same. Since I did not use conn_batch to run this data this is certainly possible.  After several attempts to figure out what was wrong.

I decided to start over.  I gathered the pre-processed data from the individual subjects and entered that through CONN batch script into setup. I am only doing 5 subjects.  I was able to enter them into CONN and see the results through the GUI.  However, when I ran Setup on the data via the GUI I am giving the following messages as Setup is running

warning: set-1 data for subject 1 session 1 not found
warning: set-1 data for subject 1 session 2 not found
warning: set-1 data for subject 2 session 1 not found
warning: set-1 data for subject 2 session 2 not found
warning: set-1 data for subject 3 session 1 not found
warning: set-1 data for subject 3 session 2 not found
...

The importing seems to be functioning. It takes about 2 minutes per subject.  However, when it finishes it briefly moves to Denoising stage and then tells me that I need to "Run first the Setup step by pressing "Done" in the Setup Tab".  At this point, I am out of ideas.  The setup looks good to me but obviously I am doing something wrong.  

Please help.

Bob


Here is my conn batch script.

function batch = me2ConnSetup

topDir = '/PACS-PI0/PACS-PI0/lindquist/me2/data/bkraft/'
me2Index = [35, 37, 38, 39, 40];
nSubjects = length(me2Index);
nSessions = 2;
nConditions = 2;
%
% Define the name of the conn.mat file.
%
outputDir = fullfile(topDir, 'group');
batch.filename = fullfile(outputDir, 'conn_me2.mat');
%
% Preprocessing Data sets
%
batch.Setup.nsubjects = nSubjects; % Number of Subjects
batch.Setup.RT = 2; % Repitition Time
% Functional and structural data for Sessions 1 and 2
%
batch.Setup.conditions.names{1} = 'restec';
batch.Setup.conditions.names{2} = 'neutral';
for iiSubject=1:nSubjects
for iiConditions=1:nConditions
for iiSessions=1:nSessions
batch.Setup.conditions.onsets{iiConditions}{iiSubject}{iiSessions} = []; % Condition{nCondition}{nSubject}{nSessions}
batch.Setup.conditions.durations{iiConditions}{iiSubject}{iiSessions} = [];
end
end
end
% For resting state fMRI onset is 0 and duration is inf
for ii=1:nSessions
for iiSubject=1:nSubjects
batch.Setup.conditions.onsets{ii}{iiSubject}{ii} = 0; % Condition{nCondition}{nSubject}{nSessions}
batch.Setup.conditions.durations{ii}{iiSubject}{ii} = inf;
end
end

batch.Setup.subjects.effects{1}(iiSubject) = me2Index(ii);
end
