Hello AFNI team,

I would like to do resting state analysis on surface. I've created afni_proc.py script file for each hemisphere and I've got an error saying...** FATAL ERROR: Mask creation fails for unknown reasons!

My afni_proc.py command is below.

afni_proc.py -subj_id ${subj}_${hemisphere} \
-script proc.${subject}_${hemisphere} -scr_overwrite \
-blocks despike tshift align volreg surf blur mask regress \
-copy_anat $top_dir/${subj}_MPRAGE_wo_skull+orig \
-anat_has_skull no -tcat_remove_first_trs 0 \
-dsets \
$top_dir/${subj}.s.01_RS+orig \
$top_dir/${subj}.s.02_RS+orig \
$top_dir/${subj}.s.03_RS+orig \
$top_dir/${subj}.s.04_RS+orig \
-surf_anat /Applications/freesurfer/subjects/${subject}/SUMA/${subject}_SurfVol.nii \
-surf_spec /Applications/freesurfer/subjects/${subject}/SUMA/std.141.${subject}_${hemisphere}.spec \
-volreg_align_to third -volreg_align_e2a \
-blur_size 4 \
-regress_censor_motion 0.2 \
-regress_bandpass 0.01 0.1 \
-regress_apply_mot_types demean deriv \
-regress_est_blur_errts \
-regress_run_clustsim no


When I generated the script file for task related experiment, I excludes mask option. I tested this on resting state analysis on surface but I could not generate the script file without mask option (e.g. I've got an error that ** script creation failure for block 'regress').

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Taek
