Dear AFNI experts,

I developed an afni_proc.py script for my project and tested it on my first subject, but am receiving errors. I am also receiving the same errors when testing the script on another subject. Please note, to get the different files needed as input into my afni_proc.py script, I first completed the following: I used dcm2niix to convert both the structural file and the functional file of my subject from .dcm to .nii.gz format. Then, I ran @Align_Centers to align the structural file’s center to the center of MNI152_2009_template_SSW.nii.gz, and next, I ran @Align_Centers to align the functional file’s center to the center of MNI152_2009_template_SSW.nii.gz. Finally, I ran @SSWarper, with the input being the aligned/“shifted” structural file (which was the output from running @Align_Centers on the structural file), and the base being MNI152_2009_template_SSW.nii.gz. All the files used as input into my afni_proc.py script do exist in the paths indicated by my afni_proc.py script.

Could you please see the below script and error outputs and suggest how I might be able to get afni_proc.py to work?
