Hello Afni Experts,

I used proc.py to generate a stats+tlrc image from a task based experiment. I am trying to use 3dLME for my group analysis, however when I execute the script I get the following feedback:

255a-280:3dLME_2.13.16 EGI$ ./step2.group_LME.sh
Loading required package: nlme
Package nlme loaded successfully!

Loading required package: phia
Loading required package: car
Package phia loaded successfully!

Warning message:
package ‘car’ was built under R version 3.1.3

Reading input files now...


** Error:
At least one of the input files has different dimensions!
Run "3dinfo -header_line -prefix -same_grid -n4 *.HEAD" in the directory where
the files are stored, and pinpoint out which file(s) is the trouble maker.
Replace *.HEAD with *.nii or something similar for other file formats.

When I use the command suggested here, I find that all my stats datasets have the same dimensions. I have tried running the 3dLME command on both the "unmasked" stats+tlrc and a "masked" stats+tlrc (having applied each subjects' mask_anat+tlrc to their own stats+tlrc file), but receive the same error message. I have not tried applying the group mask yet. When I view the "unmasked" stats+tlrc file activation is present outside the brain.

Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
