Hi experts,
I try to run surface-based preprocessing on fMRI data. The script failed at reading input the surf.smooth.params.1D file and I check the file which turns out to be empty. I find a related topic on the board, it said that taking out some commands in SurfSmooth (-blurmaster and -detrend_master [afni.nimh.nih.gov]) but it did not work.
I tried to fix it but I can't find more related information. Could you please help me with it?
