3dISC test: "Error in checkForRemoteErrors(val)"

Hi!

I am new to AFNI and I am trying to use the 3dISC program on some of my subjects. The subjects have been preprocessed using AFNI. I am trying to run a one-group ISC analysis with one explanatory variable (motion).

Although everything starts up fine, I keep getting this output and error whenever I run it:

Read 3905 items
Warning message:
In process.ISC.opts(lop, verb = lop$verb) : NAs introduced by coercion

Loading required package: snow
Error in checkForRemoteErrors(val) :
2 nodes produced errors; first error: object ‘fm’ not found
Calls: aperm … clusterApply → staticClusterApply → checkForRemoteErrors
Execution halted

This is my input:

bash-3.2$ 3dISC -prefix ISCmotion -jobs 12
-model ‘Motion+(1|Subj1)+(1|Subj2)’
-qVars Motion
-gltCode ave ‘1 0’
-gltCode Motion ‘0 1’
-dataTable @Table2.txt > log_surfrh.txt

This is what part of the table looks like:

I checked the dimensions of the files using 3dinfo -header_line -prefix -same_grid -n4 *.niml.dset, and all the files have the same dimensions.

A very similar input and datable worked with my other subjects who have undergone volume-based analysis. I’m not really sure what went wrong here.
Is there any way to get around this error?

Thank you so much for all your help! I really appreciate it!

Monira,

Considering the number of input files, I suspect one possibility is that the computer ran out of memory. Test your script with a small number (e.g., 4) of subjects, and see if it works. If it does, you may need to find a computer with a larger memory.

Thank you so much for your help Gang! I really appreciate it!

Have a wonderful rest of your week!
