Hi,

My problem is getting a particular 3dDeconvolve command to work (estimating the shape of the HRF). Whenever I try to run the command, I get the following error:

"** FATAL ERROR: '-stim_times 1' file '../times_allRuns/CS_minus_C_times_sub_1.1D' has 1 auxiliary values per time point"

Below are two things: (1) the 3dDeconvolve command, and (2) the content of one of the text files with the start:end times that the command is reading in (the rest of the text files are formatted in the same way as the example that I provide; the format is six rows of start:end times that correspond to the six runs). I suspect that the code used in my command is old by my AFNI version's standards. My version of AFNI is AFNI_2008_07_18_1710.

Thank you for your time.
