Also, a "funny" story about why I am trying to use 3dDeconvolve this way. I had an afni_proc.py script that looped over participants set up, and I ran it, but I ended up with no 'stats' files (however, I had pb05 BRIKs for all the participants). This script worked before--the only change I made was the blur size. Is it possible that for some reason increasing the FWHM would make the regression step fail?

(I deleted most of the results folders due to limited server space).

Thanks.
