HI!

I am trying to do a correlation analysis from a seed region, but the output does not make sense. I am following the steps in [afni.nimh.nih.gov]

The first error I am facing is in adwarp

$ 3dSynthesize -prefix effectsNoInterest -cbucket all_betas.bil+tlrc -matrix X.xmat.1D -select 0 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9

** Error: -apar & -dpar are in same +view!
If this is OK, use -force and -prefix options.

This works if I add the command -force

$ adwarp -apar anat_final.bil+tlrc. -dpar CleanData+tlrc -dxyz 3 -force -prefix EPI_subj_01
++ adwarp: AFNI version=AFNI_17.0.09 (Feb 10 2017) [64-bit]
++ Authored by: R. W. Cox and B. D. Ward
++ Warning: -apar & -dpar are in same +view!
*+ WARNING: Over-writing dataset ./EPI_subj_01+tlrc.HEAD

All the rest of the commands (3dmaskdump/1dtranspose/3dfim+) works perfectly. No errors. But the output of the 3dfim+ (correlation analysis) does not make sense


My input file in 3dSynthesize (called all_betas) contains the information from all participants, while in the example of afni_data6 is just for one. Could be this the problem, that I am choosing the wrong file? However, is the only I get from 3dDeconvolve (see below)

3dDeconvolve -input pb05.$subj.r*.blur+tlrc.HEAD \
