Hello AFNI team,

I am currently struggling with my approach to analyzing individual participants in my fmri dataset: The data for each participant consists of 6 runs of 417 seconds. In each run the participant are instructed to do a different task classified as:

1. rest15, ( the numbers in the task names have nothing to do with durations)
2. stand15,
3. step15,
4. rest30
5 stand30
6. step30


In each run there are also times where a stimulus is off (stim_off) and stimulus is on (stim_on). The onsets and duration is the same every run. Here is a stimulus timing file for stim_off

Stim_off:
0:42 72:27 132:30 198:36 273:33 339:39
0:42 72:27 132:30 198:36 273:33 339:39
0:42 72:27 132:30 198:36 273:33 339:39
0:42 72:27 132:30 198:36 273:33 339:39
0:42 72:27 132:30 198:36 273:33 339:39
0:42 72:27 132:30 198:36 273:33 339:39

Stim_on:
42:30 99:33 162:36 234:39 306:33 378:39
42:30 99:33 162:36 234:39 306:33 378:39
42:30 99:33 162:36 234:39 306:33 378:39
42:30 99:33 162:36 234:39 306:33 378:39
42:30 99:33 162:36 234:39 306:33 378:39
42:30 99:33 162:36 234:39 306:33 378:39

I wanted to analyze the differences between tasks - so in addition to regressing stim_on and stim_off- I created two timing files (onset:duration) for each run

e.g:
rest15_stim_off .txt
0:42 72:27 132:30 198:36 273:33 339:39

rest15_stim_on .txt
42:30 99:33 162:36 234:39 306:33 378:39

I have added the following regressors to my GLM in afni_proc:

however I get this as an output when finishing the running the proc script

Any guidance would be really appreciated.
